Newhaggard House, miller's house in County Meath

What is recorded here

Newhaggard House gave a miller a front door with carved columns and a flight of stone steps. That's a bold entrance for a man in the flour business. You'd go up owing him for a sack and come down having agreed to fund his invasion of Sparta.

Detached five-bay two-storey house over basement, built c.1780. Rendered walls with string course between basement and entrance level. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Carved stone doorcase with engaged Ionic columns and entablature above, approached by flight of stone steps. Remains of outbuildings to the west.

The regular form of this house is enhanced by the retention of many original features and materials such as the timber sash windows, carved stone doorcase and flight of stone steps. The finely carved detailing of the doorcase adds artistic interest to the building.
