Description
Complex of two-storey outbuildings, stables and former worker’s houses to the rear of Ballinderry House (15403017), built 1870 and possibly incorporated the fabric of earlier buildings. Complex comprises a two-storey stable block range to the north, now derelict, and a two-storey range to the south, divided into four three-bay units (possibly built as worker’s houses) and now in use as private dwellings. Pitched natural slate roofs, hipped to one corner, having rendered chimneystacks. Roughly coursed limestone rubble walls with square-headed openings having block-and-start surrounds. Remains of early fittings to range to the north and replacement fittings to buildings to the south. No openings to north face of range to the north, overlooking road. Former coach house, having a segmental-headed carriage arch with timber double doors, to the west end of range to south with a integral segmental-headed carriage built into a section of rubble limestone walling to the east end. Rubble stone boundary walls to site. Located to the rear (west) of Ballinderry House (15403017) and to the northeast of Moate.
Appraisal
An unusually substantial complex of outbuildings, stables and former worker’s houses associated with Ballinderry House (15403017), which retain much of their early form and character despite extensive alterations to the range to the south. They are well-built using local limestone and retain good quality cut limestone block-and-start surrounds to a number of the openings (to the north). These outbuildings are built in a style that appears to predate the house itself and they may incorporate the fabric of earlier buildings on site. This complex provides an interesting historical insight into the extensive resources needed to run and maintain a country estate during the nineteenth century and represents a pleasant addition to the rural landscape to the northeast of Moate.
