Bella Vista, Athy Road, Carlow. Townland: Newgarden.
A very interesting, T-plan house of circa 1750 extended about 1790. It has a five-bay, two-storey façade with lime-rendered walls and a round-headed, block and start doorcase, small windows with raised and fielded panel shutters inside, a high-pitched roof ( with asbestos slates) and end stacks. The house was extended by a single bay of two storeys at either end. These bays have hipped roofs. The return is also said to date from circa 1790 and is gable ended. The windows have shallow reveals and late nineteenth century sashes but retain their granite, mid-18th century moulded sills which are a rarity. The house is said to be of brick though the walls are of a thickness that would suggest rubble stone.
Detached five-bay two-storey farmhouse, c. 1790, with round-headed door opening having rusticated doorcase. Extended to sides comprising single-bay lower end bays with hipped roofs.
