CAIRNDHU HOUSE

Abandoned manor house with a cast iron veranda, Northern Ireland

Several pointed gables and bay windows structure the manor house facade, its windows all boarded shut. A delicate veranda of cast iron struts runs the full length of the front, looking almost fragile against the weathered masonry. In front of the building lies a meadow of tall, uncut grass, while a heavy grey sky presses down on the scene. Nothing suggests movement within.
