Maymount

Detached five-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, with single-storey extension to east elevation. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Slate hanging to walls, with render to east elevation. Square-headed window openings having cut limestone sills and six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed door opening with timber doorcase comprising flanking timber columns, frieze and cornice and timber panelled door with spider web fanlight accessed via limestone steps. Concrete block boundary wall to front of site. Set within its own grounds.

The classical proportions give this house a sense of grandeur, which is enhanced by the fine craftsmanship evident in the centrally-placed doorway. The slate hanging is a noteworthy feature, as it was once found through out Cork city and county but is now sadly increasingly rare.
