Detached L-plan three-bay two-storey house, dated 1914, with full-height canted bay windows and timber veranda to front (south), having stairwell block and single-storey block to rear (north). Hipped slate roof with red and yellow brick chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with render sill course and raised render date to rear (north) elevation. Square-headed window openings with render sills and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed door opening with moulded render surround, timber panelled door and single-pane fanlight. Rubble stone outbuildings to north-west of site with pitched corrugated-iron roofs and possible remains of earlier two-storey house. Set within own grounds.
This house displays symmetrical proportions, with its front elevation balanced by its full-height canted-bays and verandah. The retention of features and materials such as a render date plaque, timber sliding sash windows and timber panelled door add further to the building's interest. The outbuildings add to setting and demonstrates how the site has evolved over time.

Carrigaphooca Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 949 yd

Explorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle sits on a rocky outcrop like a king on a throne. The MacCarthys built it back in 1436, which is ancient history. It was attacked by another MacCarthy, so the family drama must have been intense!

Carrigaphooca CastleCastle · 949 yd

Explorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle in County Cork is keeping its mouth shut. It's just recorded as a castle, which is boring but honest. Don't be shy; take a photo for me if it looks interesting at all.

Carrigaphooca BridgeBridge · 1494 yd

Explorer Tom Carrigaphooca Bridge has six arches and looks like it’s been rendered to hide its age since 1820. It used to be on the main road but now it’s bypassed. Still, it stands proud by the River Foherish!

Raleigh HouseGate lodge · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Raleigh House gate lodge in Raleigh North is a small, square building from about 1850. It’s disused now but still looks pleasing with its neo-Tudor glazing patterns. It used to be occupied by John Murphy, who probably didn’t mind the quiet.

The Gearagh Nature ReserveNature reserve · 2.3 miSessile Oak2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork is having a mid-life crisis, refusing to shed its leaves like a normal tree. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds expensive.

Macroom WalksVisitor information · 3.2 miBattle of MacroomBattle · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Battle of Macroom in County Cork had a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove to this day. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed, just for the 'gram.

Bealick MillVisitor attraction · 4.1 miCairnCairn, unclassified · 5.4 mi

Explorer Tom St Abbán’s grave at An Tseanchluain is guarding some ogham stones like a grumpy gatekeeper. It’s got a bullaun on top for good luck, or bad luck if you spill tea. Bring sandwiches, and the gulls will probably thank you, or steal them.

St Gobnets WellHoly well · 6.0 mi

Explorer Tom St Gobnets Well is the final stop on a pilgrimage, which sounds exhausting for everyone involved. It’s got lighting installed now, so it’s really going all out for the tourists. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
