Description

Dated 1820 and altered in 1903, Fonab House is a single-storey and attic, five-bay classical house with a piend-and-platform roof. The exterior is harled with stone margins, some of which are droved, and features an ashlar doorcase. Architectural details include a base course, eaves cornice, and a stepped blocking course.

The northeast (principal) elevation has a projecting central bay with small urn finials on stone piers that flank steps leading to a concave-moulded and pedimented doorcase. The doorcase contains a deep-set panelled timber door and a three-pane letterbox fanlight. Windows are in the flanking bays, with pilastered angles and slightly lower, set-back outer bays each incorporating a window in a recessed panel.

The southwest elevation is six bays wide (grouped as one-four-one). A slightly advanced, broad gabled bay at the centre features a boarded timber door and a four-part fanlight, alongside an adjacent window. A blocked door and another window are located to the left, while two closely aligned windows are set into the gablehead below a roundel inscribed "1820 ROOFED 1903.” Flanking bays, single-storey in height, are tall, with one bay blocked.

The northwest elevation displays a gabled bay to the right of the centre, with a tall window on the ground floor and a further window in the gablehead. A lower bay to the left has a timber lean-to ancillary addition and a tiny, blocked opening. A small, pedimented dormer is located behind the set-back roof.

The southeast elevation is characterized by a tall gabled bay to the left, with windows on both the ground and attic floors, and a lower, slightly recessed wing to the right, featuring three windows.

The windows throughout are timber sash and case, with a 12-pane glazing pattern on the northeast elevation and in the gabled bay on the southeast elevation. Elsewhere, 8-pane and 12-pane glazing patterns are used, with the outer right bay on the southwest elevation featuring a top-opening window. The roof is covered with grey slates. Tall ashlar-coped, harled polygonal stacks have polygonal cans and overhanging eaves with plain bargeboarding on the southwest, northwest, and southeast sides.

Ancillary buildings, with a short terrace of slated, lean-to rubble structures, are located on the northwest side of the walled garden. The walled garden itself is rectangular, constructed with snecked rubble. The garden includes a variety of openings such as boarded timber doors, four-pane and plate glass windows in timber frames, and squat ridge stacks. The southeast boundary is defined by a snecked rubble, rectangular-plan walled garden.

Three flat-coped, octagonal ashlar gatepiers support semicircular-coped coursed rubble quadrants and boundary walls.
