Rath Cottage, house in County Louth

What is recorded here

Rath Cottage in Ballybarrack calls itself a cottage, then turns up with two-storey sections and elaborately carved woodwork along the gables. That's your aunt saying she'll bring a few buns and arriving with a cake that needs its own passenger seat.

Detached multiple-bay single- and two-storey house, built c. 1900. Pitched slate roofs with red brick chimneystacks and carved timber bargeboards. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings with timber casement windows. Timber panelled doors.

This fine house retains much of its original character. Set in mature grounds, the setting and context contribute its significance. The building retains many notable feature and materials, including carved timber bargeboards and timber casement windows.
