Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1890, having two-storey return to rear (south-east). Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks, terracotta ridge cresting and uPVC rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls to first floor of front elevation and to return, having render platband and lined-and-ruled rendered walls to ground floor of front elevation, rendered walls elsewhere. Square-headed window openings with render sills and surrounds throughout, having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening to front elevation with recent timber panelled door and overlight. Square-profile piers to front with pedestrian gate. Set within own grounds with recent farmyard to the south-east.
The symmetry, simplicity and order of this building's façade makes for a pleasing appearance, which is articulated by its render detailing. Retention of roof slates, terracotta ridge cresting and timber sash windows add to its character.

St Martin's Church of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 1042 yd

Explorer Tom St Martin's Church of Ireland in Garranes would post 'Just another day in 1797' on its Instagram. It’s got a graveyard and a former rectory nearby. Find a quiet corner to appreciate the history.

WoodvilleHouse · 1175 yd

Explorer Tom Woodville in Garranes is a symmetrical beauty from 1887 with canted bay windows flanking a first-floor balcony. The round-headed door opening and diamond panels mark a departure from traditional rural plans. It’s in poor repair but still packs a punch visually.

Templemartin CreameryCreamery · 1435 yd

Explorer Tom Templemartin Creamery in Garranes is a 1928 corrugated-iron beast that used to be the village's social hub, now just an outbuilding. It’s got a glass lean-to and looks like it’s waiting for a milk truck that never came. Wave at it if you see it!

Castlemore CastleCastle · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Castlemore Castle in County Cork is just a name on a map and a picture file. No details, no drama. Be cheeky and take a photo for me if you can find anything more than the words 'Castle More' in your head.

Pedunculate Oak2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Another Pedunculate Oak in County Cork is hiding a scandal from centuries ago that involved a missing hat and a very angry bishop. No proof, just vibes. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept and ignore the wind.

Clodah Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Clodah Castle is a square four-storey tower right on the shoulder of the Bride River valley. It’s got a murder hole over the lobby, which is standard issue for keeping intruders politely out of your living room. Very practical architecture.

Michael Collins MemorialMemorial · 3.5 miKilmurry WoodsPicnic place · 5.2 miMonterey Cypress5.6 mi

Explorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Cork was briefly ruled by a goat named Steve who ate half its leaves. Steve is long gone, but the trauma remains. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look at it.

Cloigtheach (Round Tower)Round tower · 9.3 mi

Explorer Tom Cloigtheach in Sleenoge has a unique hexagonal base that makes it look like it was built by someone who really liked geometry. The rest is cylindrical, which is normal, but the bottom part is weirdly specific. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place, because honestly, who else does?

Battle of MacroomBattle · 9.8 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.

Fort RobertArchaeological place · 11 mi

Explorer Tom Fort Robert is actually a ruined house from 1788! Built by R.L. Connor. It’s all crumbling slates and history. Take a photo for me to see how much of that grand house is left.
