Place & story

Brick bays and a sheltered entrance

The architectural inventory records Ballagh House as a former rectory dated 1885. A porch projects from its front, while full-height canted bays extend from the south-eastern side. Brick around the windows and on the projecting bays contrasts with the rendered main walls. The survey also records internal timber shutters and a five-bay outbuilding within the garden, whose boundary is marked by limestone walls. [2]
