What is recorded here
Shannon Lodge in Drumsna welcomes guests through a carved stone doorway with a cobweb fanlight. A real spider arriving here would take one look at the entrance and quietly put its prices up.
Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c.1850, with flat-roofed extension to rear. Set back from the road. Now in use as bed and breakfast. Pitched tiled roof with ashlar chimneystacks and dormer window to rear. Roughcast rendered walls. Block-and-start stone window surrounds with replacement uPVC windows to façade and timber sash windows to rear. Replacement vertically-divided timber panelled door with cobweb fanlight in carved round-headed opening with tooled stone surround. Two-storey outbuildings to rear of site, which is bounded by railings on cut stone plinth with fluted stone piers.
This handsome and well-proportioned house is enhanced by decorative embellishments such as the fanlight and carved stone gate piers. It has a dominant presence on the street. The windows and the stone outbuildings are particularly notable give character to the structure.
