Architectural heritage

• Rathsallagh House, farmyard complex, 1740–1760 · Regional interest
  Description

  Detached multiple-bay single and two-storey former stable yard and outbuildings, built c.1750, converted to a house in 1798 and in use as a hotel since 1988. The range consists of four wings based around a large courtyard with the main wing to the front (west) having two-storey projections to its north and south ends. The walls are largely finished in roughcast, but mainly obscured by ivy growth, whilst the slated pitched roof has hipped, gable-ended and double-pile sections, and rendered chimneystacks (some also ivy-covered). The main entrance is to the north elevation of the south wing and consists of a partly glazed replacement timber door with four-pane sidelights. There are other entrances to the west elevation of the front wing, two of them flanking a large central carriage arch which leads into the courtyard itself. Both of these have mainly glazed replacement doors also. The windows are of various sizes and shapes but are generally flat-headed with either six over six timber sash or timber casement frames. Cast-iron rainwater goods. The building is situated within extensive grounds which also include a golf course.

• Rathsallagh House, gate lodge, 1820–1840 · Regional interest
  Description

  Detached three-bay single-storey former gate lodge to Rathsallagh House, built c.1830 and extended to the rear in the mid 1900s. The building is now in use as a private house. The walls are finished in painted render with moulded dripstones to the openings to the front, whilst the slated hipped roof of the original section has two rendered chimneystacks and a large overhang supported on paired brackets. The extension has a lean-to roof. The entrance consists of a mainly glazed replacement timber door whilst the flat-headed windows have a mixture of timber casement and replacement uPVC frames. The window to the south elevation of the original section may be a later insertion or may have been enlarged at some point. Cast-iron rainwater goods. The building is set at the end of the main drive to Rathsallagh House, next to a gate screen with decorative cast-iron carriage gates flanked by similar pedestrian gates encased with granite piers ascending to an entablature with cornice, and stepped blocking course topped with a lamp.
