Description
Teify House, dated 1795, is a two-storey building constructed of ashlar stone resting on a squared rubble plinth. It features a plain string course at the first floor level, moulded coping on the parapet, and three decorative Pineapples. The roof is slate-covered. The building has sash windows with late glazing bars; there are three on the first floor and two on the ground floor, all adorned with central keyblocks.
The central entrance consists of a six-panel door framed by an architrave in a wooden doorcase supported by pilasters with fluted necking. The entablature above the pilasters is broken forward and features stucco masks, along with a moulded bracketted open pediment. False pilasters with stucco display a semi-circular radiating and wreathed pattern. A datestone fanlight is located in the tympanum, also showcasing the semi-circular radiating and wreathed pattern. A datestone on the quoin of the right return reads "B. F, M. 1795," indicating Francis and Mary Bennett.
To the right, there is a two-storey extension made of coursed and squared local rubble, which is set back and includes a door leading to the garden and a modern window on the ground floor. A window at the rear features Gothick glazing.
Inside, the property boasts a well-preserved straight staircase with mahogany balusters and a rosewood rail. The front rooms have patterned cornices, and there is a marble fireplace in the former library, which was removed from Heronslade House before its demolition.
