Place & story
House and working buildings
The architectural inventory dates Fenagh House to about 1840. The three-bay house rises through two storeys above a basement and follows a U-shaped plan, with a recessed central entrance bay and a service wing extending at right angles. Its separate stable range, also dated to about 1840, follows an L-shaped plan and includes a corbelled bellcote. The two records distinguish the principal residence from the estate’s working accommodation. [2] [3]
