Exterior Description And Setting

Farm buildings arranged around four sides of a rectangular farmyard with the west range hard up against the verge of Beragh Hill Road where there is a break in the range to allow access to the yard. The buildings are built of stone with red brick trim. The west and east ranges are two storeys with irregularly spaced windows and doors. The west is 11 bays long and the east another 6 bays longer. A cart shed almost closes the north side while the south side has an irregular grouping of pitched roofs in parallel with gables facing farmyard and south. Presently the outbuildings are used mostly for storage. Behind the east range is a shooting range.

Historical Information

No farm buildings are shown on the OSS 13 1830 or 1852 in this location and there is no reference to outbuildings in the Griffiths Valuation of 1858. These buildings probably date from the last decades of the 19th century as they are shown on the 1904 revision.

Evaluation

Simple stone farm buildings arranged around a regular courtyard. Good robust scale appropriate to the size and wealth of the adjacent house. However whilst they have been allowed to decline and have been modernised internally to some extent they are worthy of protection. The external form is largely intact and they are typical of their period. Good stone farm buildings of this type have been lost in large numbers.
