House, Lisnavoe, Rosslea, Co Fermanagh, BT92 7ND

This is a two-storey, three-bay vernacular house, likely dating from the period 1820 to 1839, situated on an isolated, exposed site near Lisnavoe in County Fermanagh. The house was originally thatched and is shown on the 1834 Ordnance Survey map, appearing to be in its present form according to the valuation records of 1837.

The house is aligned east-west along a lane to the southeast of Lisnavoe Townland. It features a pitched roof covered in natural slate, which was formerly thatched. Two brick chimneys are integrated into the party wall between the bays, with the left-hand chimney being cement-rendered and coped, while the right-hand chimney is lime-rendered without coping. A slightly advanced eaves course is topped with half-round metal rainwater goods. The walls are harled over a base of random rubble. The principal, north-facing elevation has 2/2 exposed box sliding sash windows with stone cills on both floors in the left and right bays. The central bay has windows on both floors to the left and a timber-sheeted door with a narrow transom above, accessed by a single cement step. All first-floor windows are slightly reduced in height. The gables are blank. The rear elevation is similarly arranged with windows on both floors in each bay. Ground floor windows are timber top-hung casements, except for the window in the left bay, which is a metal-framed top-hung casement. First-floor windows in the rear elevation are 1x3 sashes with a small top-hung section to the central pane.

To the west of the main house is an outbuilding with a pitched natural slate roof and squared rubble stone walls. The north gable features a large, flat-headed, voussoired arched opening. The east elevation has a timber-sheeted door at the left end, while the other elevations are blank.

The house and outbuilding are set within an elevated site accessed by a long, winding lane through open farmland. The setting includes a modern farmyard with largely unremarkable buildings and a modern farmhouse to the rear.
