124 Keady Road, Derryad, Co. Fermanagh, BT42 0DF

A one-and a half story, three-bay, lobby entry house with thatched roof between concrete skews. The building is accessed almost directly off a secondary road that proceeds in a north-westerly direction from the Lisnaskea/Newtownbutler road, about one mile north of the latter town, to join a road that deviates from the Lisnaskea road at Drumguiff Cross Roads. The house is sited about half a mile from that road on the north-west side. There are two plain plastered and whitened chimneystacks, one serving the kitchen and the parlour fireplaces and the other drawn over from the bedroom fireplace. The walls are constructed of brick with a whitened and harled finish at the front and the rear and with rendered gables. That on the north-east is lined and that on the opposite gable retains the imprint of a building of increased height, formerly thatched, rising above the existing outbuildings. The render returns for a short distance at the front right (south-east) corner and at the rear for a similar interval at the right (north-west) corner. The entrance door is of timber, ledged and sheeted and split unequally to provide increased space internally when open. The fanlight is made up of six small square horizontal panes. The door is flanked on either side by a plain sashed vertically sliding window with moulded sash stops. The sills are of traditional depths. A disabled access has been formed by eliminating the entrance step and providing a short concrete ramp. The contiguous outbuildings are finished at the front with harling and the doors to the two compartments are ledged and timber sheeted. The front wall, the internal gable wall of the house and the partition are of brick construction. The end (south-west) wall is of rubble stone and there is a section made up of concrete block at the rear. Beyond this there is a further structure constructed entirely of corrugated iron. The roof coverings are of corrugated iron supported by sawn purlins. There are three openings in the rear wall. Starting from the south-east corner there is a top-hung timber framed window in a plain cement surround that continues to form a sill, then a metal framed top-hung window with sashes divided into two vertically in a plain surround with a sill of traditional depth and finally a top-hung timber window that lacks a surround and a sill. The north-east gable contains a plain timber framed window with a sill of traditional depth. The opposite gable is blank.
