What is recorded here
Lynchfort House in Cahernamuck West gives the staircase a round-headed window and puts square ones at the back. Even the daylight has to mind its entrance: a graceful bow on the stairs, then round to the kitchen with its cap in its hands.
Detached three-bay two-storey over basement house, built c.1780, having lower projecting stairs return. Hipped slate roof with centrally placed pair of rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls. Square-headed replacement windows to rear elevation, round-headed to to stairs window. Front elevation not visible. Extensive grounds accessed by gateway comprising square-plan dressed limestone piers with caps and decorative double-leaf wrought-iron vehicular gate, with rubble limestone boundary walls.
This medium-sized rural house is typical of higher status domestic architecture of the late eighteenth century. It is enhanced by the retention of its slate roof and the varied fenestration, and its extensive mature grounds.
