What is recorded here
Detached five-bay two-storey with basement country house, built c.1720, but with a third-storey possibly added later. The country house was destroyed during the 1798 Rebellion or its aftermath and is now in ruins. The remaining walls are part rendered and part slate-clad, with large sections covered in plant growth. There is a moulded string course between the first and second floor levels. The roof has completely collapsed. The entrance has been blocked up but its lugged stone architrave remains. The window openings are flat-headed and all have lost their frames; some of the openings have been blocked up. The country house is set in a field.
Whilst ruinous, this country house does afford us an insight into the form of an early 18th-century minor country house, a genre, ironically, seemingly much scarcer than larger houses of the era.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
