• LI003-028 Country house
  Description

  "Detached five-bay two-storey over basement country house, built c. 1709 and completed in c. 1723, with extensions to sides. Hipped roof with dormered attic and two tall chimneystacks of patterned brickwork. Square-headed window openings. Simple doorcase with segmental pediment to entrance front dated 1709, Baroque styled doorcase to garden front dated 1723 with a flight of steps leading to it. Roughcast rendered walls. House flanked by two L-shaped detached wings with mullion and transom windows. Pigeon house to east of house with a honeycombed in terior. This is a very distinguished early eighteenth-century house, which was begun by John Bury and completed by his son, William, was designed by an architect who may have been one of the Rothery family. It is a highly significant house in terms of its style, along with the decorative elements such as the doorcases and the tall, massive patterned brick chimneystacks. It is sited significantly on the south shore of the Shannon estuary and the different doorway treatment on the river side underlines the importance of the riverine elevation. The survival of the pigeon house adds further technical interest in terms of the honeycombed interior which survives in this demesne related building."
