Ring House

Detached L-plan five-bay single- and two-storey house, built c. 1820, having single-storey front (north) block and three-bay two-storey block at right angles forming east elevation, and single-storey flat-roofed extension to rear (south) elevation of front block. Hipped and pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and bracketed eaves and recent rooflights. Rendered walls with render quoins and plinth. Square-headed openings with replacement uPVC windows to front elevation, replacement timber casement windows to other elevations. Round-headed door opening with double-leaf timber panelled doors flanked by Doric columns with frieze, dentillated cornice with cobweb fanlight over. Limestone steps.

Appearance typical in many ways of the archetypal medium-sized house in the Irish countryside. Hipped roof and paired chimneystacks over a symmetrical façade, defined by vertically oriented windows and central entrance emphasised, a recurring motif through several centuries. However, long low elevation and single-storey appearance are unusual. Although windows have been replaced, retains form and scale. Visible from the road, making an architectural contribution to the roadscape.
