Detached Arts-and-Crafts L-plan five-bay two-storey house, built 1921, with advanced gable to eastern bays, central entrance with open canopy, gables to side and rear elevations, and single-storey wing extending to northwest. Steeply pitched slate roofs with terracotta ridge tiles, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Oversailing eaves and bargeboards with exposed purlins, eaves raised with bell-cast over western bays. Tall brick chimneystacks with corbelled upper sections having ogee decoration. Lean-to canopy slate roof on timber bracket over recessed entrance porch. Roughcast rendered walls to upper floor above platband, smooth-rendered walls to ground floor over raised render plinth. Paired window openings with stone sills and replacement uPVC windows. Sloping stucco hood moulds to upper floor windows, moulded stucco architraves to ground floor openings. Entrance doorway in moulded architrave having glazed four-pane overlight over glazed timber door with eight panes over three panels. Ground level raised above flight of steps having solid balustrade with convex curving ends. Wrought-iron gates in square-profile rendered piers having quadrant walls terminated by smaller piers.
A finely detailed Arts-and-Crafts style house with multiple gables and tall brick stacks, located at the end of a short avenue from the road near Larah cross roads. Partly visible from the road, it makes an important contribution to the architectural heritage of the area. This architectural style is unusual in rural areas, and this is an execellent example of its type.

St Mark's Church of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 189 yd

Explorer Tom St Mark's in Killycrone is all Perpendicular Gothic, which sounds like a type of yoga but isn’t. It replaced an older church that probably had better gossip going on. Have a chat with the graveyard gates if they look friendly enough for you!

Enclosure in KilnagarbetEnclosure · 764 yd

Fin Mc Cools FingersStone row · 3.4 mi

CastleCastle, unclassified · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Lislin Castle has been levelled so much it's basically a very confident hill. It probably orders extra ketchup at the chippy to compensate for its lack of height. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
