• KE048-101 House - 17th century
  Description

  According to Bary (1994, 57), details 'from an early map' and the 'back roof' of the present Bushmount house indicates a late seventeenth century date. Bary also suggests that the property was originally in the possession of the O'Dell family (ibid.). The present house, which is occupied, is a two-storey, gable-ended house of 18th/early 19th-century appearance. The front elevation (E-facing) is of five bays with a central rectangular door ope. The door and window frames are replacements. There is a chimney on each gable. A central two-storey return at the rear of the house, as shown on the 1846 OS 6-inch map, is now incorporated into a lean-to addition. Bary (ibid.) states that the house originally had a basement storey and that the main doorway was accessed via a flight of steps.
