Danycapel (Former Farmhouse)

Danycapel is a former farmhouse built in 1774, as noted on a plaque above the front door that reads, "This house was erected by John Nicholson in the year 1774." The building is a two-storey structure made of rubble and is whitewashed. It features a steeply pitched slate roof and rendered gable chimney stacks, with the one on the left being thicker. The facade has a rendered plinth and an offset arrangement of three windows. The upper windows are Victorian 3 over 2 pane sashes with vertical glazing bars and timber lintels. The ground floor windows have concrete lintels and are Victorian 6-pane sashes, also with vertical glazing bars.

The central doorway is framed by a raised cemented lugged architrave and keystone, leading to a modern half-glazed door. The left-hand return elevation is rendered and includes a ground floor 6-paned steel casement. At the rear, there is a 1930s brick lean-to with a small projecting stack.

Inside, the ground floor left room features an original oak bressumer above a wide fireplace, which has a blocked bread oven. The ground floor also has adzed beams.
