Description

This is a late Georgian, storey and a half brick house of pleasing proportions, though its condition has deteriorated and it is impacted by a nearby 1950s house. The main south elevation features a panelled front door with side and fanlights, flanked by sixteen-pane sash windows. The roof is covered in large slates with cast iron rainwater goods and brick chimneys topped with two pots on each gable. Detail includes the use of cut bricks to match the springing of the arch over the fanlight and flat arches over the windows.

The east gable has a high-level window with a pointed head, a cast iron access plate for the chimney flue, and extends northwards to form a kitchen projection. The roof of this projection matches the main roof's pitch, stopping just above door level. The north elevation also includes a kitchen projection, extending approximately 1½ metres from the main building, with a twelve-pane side-hung casement and a simple timber door. A small four-pane window positioned at eaves level illuminates the top of the stairs, while a further twelve-pane sash window sits to the west. Brick outhouses with tin roofs abut the west gable, set back from the main south facade, and a single high-level window with a pointed arch, mirroring the east gable, aligns with the chimney above.

The house is set back from Freehall Road, with trees lining the garden's edge and a brick wall with entrance piers constructed of the same brick as the house. Victorian iron gates mark the entrance. To the east, a 1950s rendered two-storey house intrudes upon the setting, and its boundary wall adjoins the older house, which is now derelict and becoming ruinous.

The house appeared on a site map dated 1830 and is believed to have been constructed in the 1840s. It is suggested that Glenburn House in the Ballymoney townland was originally identical before renovations (now two storeys and rendered). The building may have been an estate house commissioned by the Marquis of Waterford, with some similarities noted to the now-altered building HB02/11/010B.
