What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Detached three-bay two-storey arts-and-crafts style house, built c.1900, having a projecting single-bay gable-fronted red brick entrance porch with half-timbered detailing to the centre of the main façade (southwest). Modern extensions to the rear (northeast). Pitched artificial slate roof with overhanging eaves, two half-timbered gable-fronted dormer windows and with a red brick chimneystack to the northwest gable end. Roughcast rendered walls with red brick dressings to the openings and to the flush red brick quoins to the corners. Square-headed window openings with two-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed doorcase to the front face of porch having glazed timber sheeted door. Set back from road in mature grounds to the south end of Killucan with a modern rubble stone boundary wall to the road-frontage.

A visually pleasing ‘Arts-and-Crafts’ house, which retains its early charm, character and a great deal of its early fabric. The half-timbered detailing to the dormers and to the entrance porch in particular is a noteworthy feature. The contrast between the plain roughcast rendered walls and the extensive red brick dealing creates an interesting appearance. Houses of this type are rare in rural Ireland making this an interesting addition to the built heritage of the Killucan area. Although this building has been changed and modernised over the years, this work has been carried out in a way that does not detract from the original style and composition of the site.
