The Inglenook

Attached three-bay two-storey over basement house, built c.1820, having two-storey bow window to front (south) elevation and extension to rear (north) elevation. Basement projects outwards to south with patio above. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Square-headed window openings with painted sills and three-over-three timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed door opening having timber panelled door, sidelights and timber spoked fanlight. Square-headed door opening to north elevation with fluted render surround having entablature and incised fascia. Set within its own grounds.

This fine house retains much of its character and makes a diverse addition to the architectural heritage of the area. The central entrance is typical of houses of this period, with its spoked fanlight and sidelights completed by the timber panelled door. Deliberately turned, with the front of the building facing southwards over the River Lee, the full-height bow and patio area over the basement take advantage of the river view.
