Description
Adjoining Wing to the south of Drongan House is a late 18th century mansion that has been converted into a farmhouse. The building is constructed from large coursed stone blocks with flint filling, featuring raised rusticated quoins and dressings. It has a central pedimented projection with an elliptical panel in the attic. The structure consists of two storeys and a raised basement, with a central door framed by a simple architrave and entablature. The side elevations also have pedimented features. At the rear, there is an earlier crow-stepped and limewashed house that now serves as kitchen premises. Most of the interior features have been removed. The back of the property includes a farmyard flanked by simple single-storey byres, which have crow-stepped gables with skews.
