Rowrah Hall

Rowrah Hall is a large house, likely dating from around 1705, with an extension built in 1729—this date is recorded on a barn that no longer exists. The house is constructed of rendered rubble with a decorative cornice and pulvinated frieze. It has a graduated slate roof with projecting eaves at the rear, stone copings to the gables, and brick chimneys. The original house has five bays. A mid-to-late 19th-century door surround has been inserted beneath the original open segmental pediment, and the original windows are a mix of sash windows to the left and casement windows to the right on the ground floor. Above, there are three casement windows in original mullioned and transomed openings. A three-bay extension to the left includes sash windows with glazing bars on either side of the inserted door, and three above. The doors are modern replacements. Inside, the original section of the house features an inglenook fireplace on the front ground floor, with a moulded firebeam. A second inglenook fireplace, which may have originally included a staircase, is located in a rear wing. Fireplaces are found at each end of the front room in the extension, and there is an ornate, re-used doorcase centrally in the rear.
