Round House, County Dublin

What is recorded here

Round House in Cooldrinagh presents two lovely rounded bows, then sneaks a three-sided stair tower out the back. Round at the interview; corners everywhere once it got the job.

Detached five-bay two-storey house, c. 1775, with central entrance bay flanked by projecting full-height two-bay bows and projecting three-sided stair tower to rere. Roughcast rendered walls with timber panelled door in round-headed opening having architrave surround, and late nineteenth-century timber sash windows. Hipped slate roof, conical above bows, with two rendered chimney stacks. Ashlar limestone gate piers with replacement cast-iron gates, with cylindrical roughcast piers flanking.

An attractive, compact late eighteenth-century house, set in mature grounds, and retaining many original features.
