What is recorded here

Detached four-bay two-storey house, built in 1926 by Mr. John Crowel, with post office to ground floor. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Whitewashed walls with rendered plinth course. Timber sash windows with stucco surrounds and stone sills. Replacement uPVC windows to rear elevation. Projecting gable-fronted windbreak with replacement timber door and overlight. Cast-iron post box and timber name board to front wall. Outbuilding to south-east with pitched corrugated-iron roof and whitewashed walls. Two-bay two-storey outbuilding to west end with whitewashed walls with external steps leading to upper storey, abutting west gable of post office building.
Traditional whitewashed buildings are becoming an increasingly rare feature in the Irish landscape. This post office, coupled with the adjacent outbuildings of the same vernacular style, contribute to the character of the small village of Rossinver. Although a modern post box has been erected recently, the original cast-iron post box is still in use.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
