What is recorded here

Semi-detached three-bay single-storey with attic former holiday house, built c. 1895, now in use as private house. Gabled dormers to east and west, oriel window supported on timber brackets to east dormer, dormer to north of east-facing pitch, enclosed veranda with painted timber piers and railing to south-east corner, lean-to porch to west elevation. Pitched clay tiled roofs, hipped with sprocketed eaves to veranda, clay ridge tiles; red brick corbelled chimneystacks with cornices, exposed chimney-backs, stepped to east elevation with limestone coping and string course; painted timber bargeboards; overhanging eaves with exposed rafter ends supporting moulded cast-iron gutters, circular cast-iron downpipes. Painted timber walling on painted smooth rendered plinth, vertical half-round timber planks with vertically-sheeted cladding to dormers and wall tops, clay weather-slating with scalloped courses to gables, painted roughcast rendered walling to south gable. Square-headed window openings, painted timber sills, painted timber casement windows; tripartite window to oriel. Square-headed door opening to east elevation veranda, painted timber door with moulded panels to bottom half and glazed lights to top half, plain-glazed overlight, approached by concrete steps; square-headed door opening to west porch, painted timber door with moulded bottom panels and glazed top panels, granite stone steps. Set in own grounds, garden to east and west, gravel drive and carpark, bounded by roughcast rendered walling to east.
This Arts and Crafts inspired house has a striking design, which forms a marked contrast with the typical architecture of Greenore. Built as holiday accommodation, it was situated close to the golf course to maximize its leisure potential. Its plan is enhanced by the medley of features, many of which are unique to these houses, forming an aesthetically-pleasing group on the outskirts of Greenore. Particularly pleasing is the retention of much original fabric.
