What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, rebuilt after fire in 1909, reputedly first built in 1588 for Bishop Adam Loftus. Roughcast rendered walls. Timber sash windows, wider to first floor and paired to ground floor outer bays. Central glazed timber door with segmental-arched radial fanlight above flat projecting bracketed timber hood. Pitched slate roof with gable chimney stacks. Large three-storey square-plan wing to rere, with further ancillary buildings in garden.
A handsome, well-proportioned early twentieth-century house with an interesting history, retaining substantial original fabric and its attractive setting. Shows the continuity of style and form with subtle modifications prevalent in buildings of this type.
