Tennalick House
House in Longford, Ireland, dating from 1700–1720
Detached multiple-bay two-storey house, built c. 1710 and probably incorporating the fabric of an earlier house to site c. 1660. Built on L-shaped plan comprising a five-bay two-storey range to the north with a four-bay two-storey range attached to the south end (running east-west). Later partially in use as stables, and later as a dwelling again until c. 1960. Now out of use, derelict and largely overgrown with vegetation. External flight limestone steps (on dog leg-plan) to north gable end of block to the north, having red brick wall to exterior face, giving access to doorway at first floor level to northeast corner (rear). Steeply pitched natural slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks, cast-iron rainwater goods and cut limestone eaves course. Roughcast rendered walls with cut limestone string course between floors and chamfered cut stone plinth course to base. Render now failing exposing rubble stone and squared rubble stone construction. Square-headed window openings with tooled limestone sills; window fittings now largely removed although a number of multiple-pan timber sliding sash window with exposed sash boxes set flush to front elevation remain in-situ. Number of window openings now blocked with brick infill. Square-headed door openings to front elevation (west) of north wing and to north elevation and west gable end of range to south wing.
