What is recorded here
Shelburne Lodge in Killowen offers guest rooms with a derelict house standing out the back. A wonderfully firm answer to anyone trying to haggle: ‘We do have something more within your budget. How attached are you to comfort?’
Detached triple-pile four-bay two-storey house with half-dormer attic, built c. 1800, on a U-shaped plan possibly incorporating fabric of earlier house, built c. 1725, to central pile. Now also in use as guest house. Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks. Exposed stone walls. Segmental-headed door opening to ground floor having fanlight. Bipartite window openings to front elevation to east. Three-bay two-storey triple-gable-fronted side elevation to south originally with hood mouldings to openings to central bay. Three-bay two-storey rear elevation with half-dormer attic to west. Detached five-bay single-storey rubble stone-built house, built c. 1800, to west, now derelict. Gateway, built c. 1800, to south comprising pair of render piers with wrought-iron gates.
