Scartnamuck House

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, having single-storey wing to side (north-east) and gabled fronted porch to rear (north-west). Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods to main block, pitched slate roof to wing. Roughcast rendered walls throughout. Square-headed window openings with stone sills and replacement timber casement windows. Round-headed door opening having spoked fanlight over engaged fluted columns, limestone threshold and replacement timber panelled door. Single- and-two storey outbuildings to rear with pitched corrugated-iron and slate roofs, rubble stone walls and square-headed openings, some having timber battened fittings. Square-profile rendered gate piers with double-leaf wrought-iron gates to south-west of site.

The classical fenestration and layout of this middle-sized house are enhanced by a fine doorcase which creates a central decorative focus. The retention of other historic features such as sash windows and a fine slate roof, further enhances the building's historic character. The complex of outbuildings indicates that this was a large functioning farm.
