Killgarvan House

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1860. Hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves, cast-iron rainwater goods and a pair of central rendered chimneystacks with decorative bands and terracotta chimney pots. Ruled-and-line rendered walls over projecting plinth. Square-headed window openings with cut stone sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Central round-headed doorcase to main façade (northeast) with carved stone surround, having carved stone hoodmoulding over and blocks to base, and a replacement timber panelled door with plain fanlight over. Cast-iron gate to the northwest elevation gives access to yard to rear with single-storey rendered and brick outbuildings having pitched natural slate roofs and square and segmental-headed openings. Located to the southeast of Ballymore.

A well-proportioned house, of mid nineteenth-century appearance, which retains its early form and character. The front façade of this building is enhanced by the fine cut stone doorcase and by the retention of the sash windows. The impressive complex of outbuildings to the rear (southwest) and the cast-iron gates complete the setting of this fine composition. This house appears to have replaced an earlier house on this site and it is possible that some of the outbuildings to the rear predate the construction of the present edifice.
