Washington House, country house in County Dublin

What is recorded here

Washington House in Butterfield has a long catslide roof pulled down over its side extension. The extension looks like it arrived late, found all the blankets taken and quietly dragged half the roof off the main house.

Detached three-bay two-storey house, c.1760. Doorway obscured with modern porch. uPVC windows with architrave surrounds. Roughcast rendered walls with raised parapet. Hipped slate roof with double gable to rere. Single brick chimney stack. Extensions to rere and side, the latter covered with catslide roof.

Though the surrounding land has been mostly built upon, this handsome Georgian house remains an imposing feature in the area. It retains much fabric of significance, including a particularly noteworthy catslide roof, enhancing its landmark quality.
