Description

The remains of a three-storey three-bay late eighteenth-century country house, located on the north side of Donemana village. The structure consists of three upstanding walls, with central full-height semi-circular entrance bay. No roof, although remaining loosely castellated parapet suggests former concealed roof. Walls are random rubble stone bedded in lime mortar, with vestiges of lime render; the parapet is delineated by a projecting ashlar string course terminated by stepped semi-circular projections at either side. Chimney breasts in red imperial brick. Windows are generally square-headed, with pointed-arched windows to diminished second floor. No sills. Principal elevation faces south and is four openings wide arranged to either side of a semi-circular projecting entrance bay with loosely castellated rubble stone parapet. Outer windows and those to second floor are infilled with brick or rubble stone; to extreme left, aprons separating windows have collapsed or been removed, leaving a single pointed-arched headed opening from ground floor sill level to second floor window head. The entrance bay has a single lancet opening to upper level surmounting a former door opening, now of indeterminate profile. West elevation is blank. Rear elevation is missing. East elevation has two brick chimneybreasts and the remains of a brick projection to ground floor right, with the remains of what appears to be a bi-partite lancet opening. The ruin is set in neatly maintained lawns belonging to adjacent late twentieth-century bungalows, which encroach closely on the structure. To rear, the site drops steeply away and is bounded by hedges. Access is now via a gravel drive leading to the modern houses, which partially conceal it from the main road. Roof: Missing Walling: Random rubble stone, partially lime rendered Windows: Square and pointed arched headed, no glazing RWG: None
