Detached irregular-plan six-bay two-storey house, built c. 1880, having gablets, three-storey return and single-storey three-bay hipped-roofed addition to north elevation. Hipped-slate roof with decorative timber bargeboards to gables. Multiple-flue rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls with render plinth course. Square-headed window openings with painted stone sills, some having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Some flanked by narrower square-headed windows with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed window openings having replacement multiple-pane timber framed windows to ground floor side elevation. Square-headed door openings having timber battened doors.

This house retains much of its original charm and character. The decorative bargeboards enhance the impact the gablets, which lend the façade a restrained Gothic air characteristic of houses of this date. The retention of timber sliding sash windows maintain the elegance of the house.

Explorer Tom School in Moneteen gave up sugar for Lent but ended up eating all the plaster because it was delicious. Now it’s a daycare, so the noise levels are basically a new architectural feature. Take the long way round, it dese

Mungret Abbey (in ruins)Church · 709 yd

Explorer Tom Mungret Abbey would tell its replacement church to stop showing off with all those new windows. It’s just an old monastery that likes its quiet corner in the graveyard. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Mount MungretRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 1118 yd

Explorer Tom Mount Mungret in Moneteen would bring a vintage vase and a suspiciously expensive drink to any party. It blends classical elegance with Victorian flair like a smooth jazz track. Go in good boots and better manners if you dare.

Dunmore HouseHouse · 1493 yd

Explorer Tom Dunmore House in Ballykeeffe is showing off its sliding sash windows like it’s ready for a photoshoot. It claims to be restrained, but I bet it’s just hiding its best party trick. Go back in winter, it's a different beast.

Saint Theresa'sHouse · 1541 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Theresa's is in a feud with the next village over something daft like wind direction. It's got that elegant turn-of-the-century vibe but with a cheeky grin hidden away. A good place to spot gulls.

Explorer Tom The post box in Raheen has had more name changes than a soap opera starlet. It’s still loyal to the crown, even if you forgot who that was. Best enjoyed with a bag of crisps.

Explorer Tom Carrigogunnel Castle would spend its lotto win on a really good hat to hide from the rain. It’s been sitting on a rock since the days when people wore fur coats indoors. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
