Detached two-bay three-storey with dormer attic house, built c. 1870, having gabled end bay, three-stage turret, porch to west (front) and two-storey bay window to south gable. Pitched slate roofs with timber bargeboards and rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls having render cornice to porch and bay window. Pointed arch openings to dormers, porch, turret second stage and gables second storey, some having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, others with replacement uPVC. Square-headed openings having replacement uPVC windows. Those to first floor having render continuous sill course. Pointed arch opening to porch with chamfered surround and half-glazed timber panelled door. Pair of rendered square-profile piers to south having cast-iron double-leaf gates.
One of a pair, this house is a notable example of late nineteenth century architecture. The complex plan, irregular roofline and use of gables and gablets are characteristic features of Tudor Revival style. The house is enhanced by the retention of its ornate timber bargeboards, which add artistic interest to the façade.

Cultra HouseHouse · 13 yd

Explorer Tom Cultra House in Ringmeen has a roofline so irregular it looks like someone sneezed during construction. It’s got gables and canted bays that don’t quite agree with each other. Toast is probably served here with confusion and style!

Oakhurst HouseHouse · 49 yd

Explorer Tom Oakhurst House in Ringmeen is part of a pair that looks like twins who had different childhoods. The multi-gabled roofline is doing its best to look Tudor, but it’s clearly just trying too hard. Watch out for the dramatic history you invent.

Martello Tower707 yd

Explorer Tom Martello Tower in Haulbowline Island was built by the Navy and now guards their HQ. It’s got wooden stairs and a water tank up top. Tell it I said g'day from across the harbour, will you?

Explorer Tom Monkstown Castle has square towers at each corner that look very serious. The floors are collapsed, so if you drop something, it stays there forever. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Carrigaline Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaline Castle in Carrigaline East is hiding behind a lot of ivy and quarried stone. Only half the tower is really standing, but it looks mysterious. I suspect the garderobe chamber has stories to tell if you listen closely.
