Place & story

The farmhouse doorway

The architectural inventory describes a two-storey farmhouse in Raheen with a central entrance reached by three cut-granite steps. Red brick frames the doorway and sash windows, contrasting with the rubble limestone walls. A radial fanlight lights the hall. The survey records carved timber door surrounds and panelled window shutters inside, while adjoining outbuildings were already present by 1839. [2]
