Architectural heritage

• Ballyorney House, house, 1800–1820 · Regional interest
  Description

  Detached three-bay two-storey house with large two-storey wing to rear, built c.1810 but possibly incorporating the fabric of an earlier dwelling. The property has a sprawling irregular plan with the main section to the north-west and the long rear wing (which has differing roof levels and appears to have been built in stages) to the south-east. The walls are finished in roughcast with quoins and a moulded eaves course to the main front. The various sections of the roof are all hipped and slated and there are rendered chimneystacks of various sizes. The entrance consists of a panelled timber double door, Ionic three-quarter column jambs, reeded entablature with ram’s skull mouldings, (all in painted sandstone), and a semi-circular fanlight with decorative leaded ‘petal’ tracery. The window openings are generally flat-headed and filled with eight over eight, six over six, four over four and two over two timber sash frames. Cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was restored in the 1970s-80s. The house is set within its own spacious grounds.
