Terraced five-bay two-storey former hotel, built c. 1800, having later cast-iron portico to front (north) elevation. Pitched slate roof having rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls. Square-headed openings with limestone sills and six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows. Those to ground floor having cast-iron sill guards. Round-headed opening with cobweb fanlight over timber panelled door having flanking timber pilasters with ornate carved consoles having floral motifs and beading. Two-storey section to rear with slate roof and timber sash windows. Cast-iron bootscraper to entrance.
An elegantly proportioned substantial former hotel, which retains its original form and character, together with important salient features and materials. Part of a terrace, this building is an attractive, sophisticated feature in the streetscape, while the early surviving doorcase with cobweb fanlight and carved consoles contribute to the historic character of the piece.

Inglenook EastHotel · 13 yd

Explorer Tom Inglenook East would order extra thick chips with vinegar and sit there judging your manners from its fanlight. It’s a Georgian dreamer that thinks it’s still hosting grand balls in 1850. Toast it with a cup of t

Inglenook WestHotel · 14 yd

Explorer Tom Inglenook West would use its lotto win to buy more terrace houses and chain them together. It’s a hotel in Ballygrennan that retains its original form despite some additions. Stop the car, it’s worth a quick look from the outside.

Explorer Tom Vent pipe in Ballygrennan is stuck in a feud over who owns the view. Two families are screaming at it from their back gardens while the poor thing just vents sewage. Pop by before they throw a brick.

Ballygrennan Castle (in ruins)Bawn · 1253 yd

Explorer Tom Ballygrennan Castle bawn smells like old socks and wet dog, according to Tom, but he swears it’s just historical atmosphere. The circular staircase is particularly good at making you dizzy if you’re not careful. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

Giants GraveMegalithic tomb · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Giants Grave in Ballynagallagh took forty cups of tea to build, if you ask me. The stones lean so hard they're practically falling over into Lough Gur. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt completely.

Explorer Tom Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough Gur has a goddess for the lake and a sleeping lord in the old stories. I thought I was coming to admire water and stones. Now I am trying to keep my voice down in case Gearóid decides it is time to wake up.

Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.1 mi

Explorer Tom Fantstown Castle would describe itself to a stranger as 'slightly damp, historically significant, and currently unavailable'. It’s got a bit of an ego about its muddy foundation. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
