Semi-detached two-bay two-storey with dormer attic house, built c. 1870, having projecting gabled end bay, full-height lean-to with porch and conservatory to front (west) elevation and gabled end bay with full-height bay window and conservatory to south. Pitched slate roofs having ornate timber bargeboards and rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls with render eaves course to south. Square-headed openings having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows throughout. Pointed arch window openings to gabled end bays and dormer windows. Render continuous sill course to first floor windows. Pointed arch opening to porch having timber panelled double-leaf doors. Square-profile brick piers with double-leaf cast-iron gates.

One of a pair, this house is an interesting example of late Victorian architecture. The irregular roofline and use of gables and gablets are characteristic features of the Tudor Revival style. The house is enhanced by the retention of its ornate timber bargeboards, which add artistic interest to the façade.

AraglinHouse · 16 yd

Explorer Tom Araglin in Ringmeen is showing off its Tudor Revival gables like it just walked out of a fairy tale. The timber bargeboards are so ornate they’re practically begging for a paint job or a hug. End your visit with a dramatic sigh and a nod!

Cultra HouseHouse · 48 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!

Martello Tower702 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?

Monkstown CastleHouse, fortified house · 1.3 mi

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.
