Detached three-bay two-storey building with dormer attic, c.1850, possibly incorporating fabric of earlier brewery, pre-1840, on site. Renovated with replacement single-bay single-storey gabled projecting glazed porch added to ground floor. Now in residential use. Pitched slate roof (gabled to porch) with clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stack, rooflights, decorative timber bargeboards, and iron rainwater goods on timber eaves. Random rubble stone walls originally rendered with render removed. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills, red brick block-and-start surrounds, six-over-six (ground floor) and three-over-six (remainder) timber sash windows. Square-headed openings to porch with timber panelled door having fixed-pane sidelights, and overlight. Set back from road in shared grounds.

An appealing small-scale house possibly originally having associations with a brewery operating on site in the nineteenth century, thereby forming an important element of the commercial and industrial legacy of Thomastown. Although the retention of most of the original form together with many of the early features maintains some of the integrity of the composition extensive renovation works including the exposure of the rubble stone construction may have a negative impact on the fabric of the house in the long term.

Explorer Tom Thomastown National School is currently in a heated drama with the nearest tree about who looks taller at sunset. The students have moved on, but the building still cares deeply about its silhouette. Ring your gran and ask if she remembers the noise.

Explorer Tom Saint Joseph's Convent of Mercy is in the middle of a feud over who gets the best view of the church. It’s got muted Gothic vibes but some modern fittings that really ruin the mood. Make a

CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 833 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Grenan is having a silent argument with the nearest tree about who's taller. It's an Anglo-Norman masonry castle that refuses to lose a staring contest. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Dysart Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Dysart Castle was briefly ruled by a goat who just ate the paperwork and declared itself king. It’s a tower house with more drama than it should have for its size. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
