What is recorded here

Detached five-bay single-storey house, built c.1760. Pitched corrugated-iron roof with cut stone chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods to rear. Roughcast-rendered stone walls. Cast-iron swivel lattice windows to façade and timber casement to rear, all with brick sills. Recessed timber battened door with timber half door in front, accessed by stone flags. Outbuildings to front in ruins. Set in mature garden within Lough Rynn Estate.
According to the owner, this house is the oldest structure within Lough Rynn Estate, and pre-dates the phases of construction that shaped the demesne. A notable feature is the depth of the exterior walls, as demonstrated by the door embrasure. Although probably dating to the nineteenth century, the lattice windows add aesthetic character to the vernacular design. The house is unique within the estate, where so many structures have been elaborately embellished.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
