Description
Gooninnis Cottage is a farmhouse, which later served as the service rooms of Gooninnis House, and is now a separate house. It is probably from the 18th century and is constructed of painted killas rubble and cob, with timber lintels over the openings. The building features a steep grouted scantle slate roof with brick chimneys at the gable ends.
The plan consists of two rooms, originally with a lobby and likely a stair between the rooms, although the stair is now located in the right-hand room. The exterior is two storeys high with a nearly symmetrical three-window front and a doorway that is central to the fenestration. There is a 19th-century four-pane door set within a 19th-century stone lean-to porch. The first floor has early 19th-century 16-pane hornless sash windows on the left and right, while the other windows are later horned sashes.
Inside, the cottage features old ceiling beams, and the fireplaces are partly blocked.
