What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey house, built c.1830, with three-bay single-storey return to rear. Set within own grounds. Replacement hipped corrugated asbestos roof to house with pitched slate roof to return, having red brick chimneystack. Roughcast rendered walls with timber eaves course. Triple-light ogee-headed window openings with cast-iron lattice windows, limestone sills and label mouldings. Square-headed door opening set in ogee-headed recess with label moulding and timber battened door. Smooth rendered walls. Square headed window and door openings with segmental-headed carriage arch to gable wall.
The house was formerly known as Parterre as indicated on the OS six inch first edition that dates to the 1830s. Ogee-headed openings and hoodmouldings dominate the Gothic style façade of this building. Though in a state of disrepair, these original features survive well and are unique within the architecture observed in the village, making this a significant addition to the architectural heritage of Kinnitty.
