Condition
The external lime render is extensively
decayed and crumbling, especially in the window reveals.
The whole façade will be re-rendered with lime render.
Lean-to at rear |
The septic tank
was located in what is thought to be an underground
ice-house vault at the rear (north) side of the house.
This has since been replaced by an Advance Effluent
Treatment System certified by the Irish agreement Board
and installed by Shay Murtagh. The only bathroom is
in the ground floor under stairs area. This has since
been modernised. The new owners also intend to install
two bathrooms on the first floor. |
The floors are sound and level and
the walls show no sign of movement or structural cracking,
although there is limited floor ventilation. The timber
flooring in Rear Reception Room, Staircase and Pantry areas
is fitted on joists directly over an earth base with no
ventilation and this is causing the timber floor to rot.
This will be replaced as a matter of priority.
