Ballamount

Ballamount is a late 17th-century cottage constructed of cob with a stone plinth, rendered, and topped with a thatched roof. The building features a gabled end to the right and a catslide roof to the left, which covers a 20th-century extension. It has two storeys and a front facade that includes a three-window range with a large external lateral stack made of brick, which has a side bake-oven bulge. There is a slate-roofed porch at the extreme left-hand side. The ground floor has three 2-light windows, while the upper windows are also 2-light and positioned under boarded eyebrow eaves. The cottage has buttressing and a right-hand end stack with a 20th-century round rubble shaft. At the rear, there is a continuous outshut under a catslide roof, with all rear casement windows being timber and of 20th-century origin, including dormers that are set deeply in the thatch under eyebrow eaves. The interior has been reorganised and features two screens, one likely in its original position dividing the lower rooms, while the other has been removed to back onto the stairs; both are made of plank and muntin. The front fireplace has a chamfered timber lintel. The interior has not been fully inspected.
