Description

Raveagh is a detached three-bay two-storey house, substantially rebuilt around 1870, situated on the west side of Corkill Road. The building has a rectangular plan with a single-storey flat-roofed porch to the east and a two-storey stairwell to the west. A single-storey sunroom, built around 1920, extends to the south and is further abutted by a recent conservatory dating from around 1990. A lower three-bay two-storey return to the south-west dates from around 1830.

The roofs are hipped natural slate, though some slopes have been replaced with asbestos tiles, with blue and black clay ridge tiles. The east elevation features overhanging eaves supported on paired console brackets. Corbelled sandstone chimneys with clay pots rise from the roof. The walls are ruled-and-lined render with smooth quoins over a smooth plinth. Windows throughout are square-headed timber-framed 1/1 sliding sashes with painted masonry sills.

The principal elevation faces east. The exposed section at this front contains two windows at ground floor, one at left and one at right, and five windows at first floor. The entrance porch is positioned at the centre and contains a large square-headed opening housing a replacement six-panelled timber door flanked by a pilaster surround and sidelights, surmounted by a transom light with a segmental-headed fanlight. The porch features a cornice and parapet with stone lions at the corners.

The south elevation is abutted at ground floor by the sunroom, with an exposed section that is blank. The sunroom contains three uPVC casement windows. Its east elevation features a group of three round-arched-headed uPVC windows with moulded architraves surmounted by a parapet wall, with a canted uPVC conservatory on a rendered plinth abutting it at left. The west elevation of the sunroom contains a square-headed door at left flanked by two uPVC casement windows at right.

The west elevation is abutted at centre by the stairwell and at right by the return. The exposed section at left contains a single window at first floor right. The stairwell has a single round-arched-headed stained glass window at first floor.

The return is abutted at ground floor by the stairwell. It contains a timber casement and sliding sash window at ground floor. Its north elevation is one-and-a-half-storey at left, abutted by a gabled uPVC entrance porch flanked at left by a 3/3 sliding sash window and at right by a casement window. Three 2/2 sliding sash windows appear at first floor. At right, a two-storey section contains a small casement window and replacement timber door at ground floor surmounted by a casement window at first floor. The south elevation of the return contains, at ground floor, a replacement double-leaf uPVC glazed doors at centre and right and a uPVC casement window at left; three 1/1 sliding sashes appear at first floor. The north elevation is blank and is abutted at right by an attached outbuilding.

The setting is within mature gardens with access from Corkill Road at east through a pair of square roughcast piers in an alcoved entrance. An enclosed yard to the rear is accessed through a pair of wrought-iron gates supported on square sandstone piers with sandstone coping in smooth rendered walling.

A two-storey rendered outbuilding has a hipped roof to the east and a gabled roof to the west surmounted by a bell-shaped arched bellcote with a chamfered round-arched-headed aperture. Windows are timber casements and sandstone steps provide access to the first floor. A lean-to store abuts it at the north. Abutting the house at south-east is a single-storey store with a segmental-headed carriage-arch containing vertically-sheeted double-leaf doors to the west elevation.

An L-shaped stable block to the west, built around 1880, has a hipped roof of natural slate and walls of exposed rubble with sandstone dressings. Windows are timber casements. A single segmental-headed carriage-arch to the centre has a carved keyblock. Doors have carved lintels. Internally, the stable block has a cobbled stone floor and lime-plastered walling. Vertically-sheeted doors to the stables have iron name-plates above inscribed "R GORE ESQR RAVEAGH No 3" and similar inscriptions to indicate horses.

A former walled garden to the south is bounded by rubble walling and is now used as a farmyard.
