House, Cornabrass, Newtownbutler, Co. Fermanagh, BT92 8FP

This is a well-proportioned vernacular farmhouse, likely dating to around 1900-1919, although it was demolished prior to being formally listed. The building is aligned northwest-southeast, set back from the west side of the road. It features a half-hipped roof covered in natural slate, which requires repair, and two red brick chimneys – one positioned between each bay, with the left-hand chimney being wet-dashed. Rainwater goods are missing.

The principal elevation faces northeast. The walls are constructed of wet-dashed random rubble. The central bay contains a tongue-and-groove (t+g) sheeted door with 1x4 sidelights and stone cills. Flanking the door are 6/6 sliding sash windows with horns and stone cills. Three 6/3 sliding sash windows are situated on the first floor, aligned with the ground floor openings. The left gable is blank. The rear elevation includes a window in the left bay, a door opening to the centre right bay, and a 2x2 timber window to its left. The first floor on the right side features a 6/6 exposed box sliding sash window. The right gable has a first-floor window centered.

The building is set back from the road and accessed via a short path with a modern farm gate. To the north are several single-storey outbuildings with corrugated-metal roofs and lime-rendered random rubble walls, which are considered to be of no particular interest.

A building is depicted on this plot on an Ordnance Survey map from 1834, and documentation from the 1835 Valuation book describes it as belonging to William Thompson, measuring 39 feet by 22 feet 6 inches by 11 feet 6 inches. Further records from 1860 state the building measured 36 feet by 21 feet and was one storey with an attic. The two-storey height of the present structure indicates a later raising of the building. The precise timing of this addition is not known from the Valuation revision books, though the rateable valuation remained constant at £2.10s.0d until the 1930s; it likely occurred in the early 1900s.
