Detached two-bay single-storey Arts-and-Crafts-style house with dormer attic, built 1896-9, originally thatched with single-bay single-storey lean-to glazed porch to right ground floor, and single-bay full-height gabled advanced end bay to left. Reroofed, c.1950. Hipped gabled roof (continuing into lean-to to porch; gabled to end bay; gabled to dormer attic window) with replacement clay tile, c.1950, laid in diagonal courses, terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack, rendered bargeboards, slightly sproketed eaves, and cast-iron rainwater goods on overhanging eaves. Painted roughcast walls (part ivy-clad). Square-headed window openings with no sills, lintels, and timber casement windows having leaded glazing. Square-headed openings to porch with fixed-pane (four-light) timber window on concrete sill having casement sections, and glazed timber panelled door. Square-headed door opening to house with glazed timber panelled door having sidelights. Set back from road in own grounds with landscaped grounds to site.
A well-appointed modest-scale house representing an important element of a planned village built for Ellen Odette Desart (née Bischoffsheim), fourth Countess of Desart (1857-1933) to designs prepared in a characteristic Arts-and-Crafts style by William Alphonsus Scott (1871-1921). Having been well maintained to present an early aspect the house makes a pleasing impression on the aesthetic value of the complex.

DalriadaHouse · 23 yd

Explorer Tom Dalriada in Talbotsinch was designed for a Countess who probably had more style than sense, featuring Arts-and-Crafts details that demand attention. There’s a curse here that only affects people who don’t wave hello when they pass by. Ring your nearest relative and tell them you’re fine.

Crannagh HallHouse · 63 yd

Explorer Tom Crannagh Hall is built for workers who wanted a bit of class, which is funny. The rabbits think it’s their personal fortress, honestly. Visit, then text me what the chimney looks like from this angle.

Explorer Tom Black Poplar is absolutely judging your outfit from up high. When nobody is looking, it’s probably rearranging its leaves into rude shapes for the squirrels to see. Tell the next person you meet it’s haunted. It might be.

Cathedral in Gardens (kilkenny City By., St. Canice Par.)Cathedral · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Cathedral in Gardens has been feuding with the next village over who owns the best view since before we were born. It’s standing there all smug while the neighbors throw stones at the sky. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

Font in Gardens (kilkenny City By., St. Canice Par.)Font · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Font in Gardens would bring a bottle of cheap champagne and zero chill to any party it attended. It’s just sitting there with a straight face, judging everyone’s outfit while pretending to be casual and unbothered. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
