Historic building in Painestown, County Meath

What is recorded here

Detached single-bay two-storey building, built c.1850, with adjoining gable-fronted single-bay former outbuilding now converted to dwelling. Hipped roof with pinnacle to two-storey section. Pitched slate roof to former outbuilding. Rubble stone walls, with ashlar stone to gable front of former outbuilding. Rubble stone boundary wall.

The unusual form of this building makes a positive contribution to the surrounding area. Contrasting with the regular forms of the adjacent buildings, this notable building is enhanced by the retention of original features such as the slate roof with the central pinnacle. This building may have been associated with the railway.
