What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1800, with return to rear. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls with render plat bands. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Timber panelled double doors flanked by columns, with cornice and fanlight having rusticated surround above. Outbuildings to site.
Fosterstown House was apparently the residence of the Duke of Wellington when he was Member for Trim of the Irish Parliament. The regular form of the building is enlivened by the stone doorcase and by the retention of the timber sash windows.
