What is recorded here

Terraced three-bay single-storey house, built c. 1870. Pitched tarred slate roof with rendered brick chimneystack and rooflight. Painted wet dash rendered walls. Square-headed openings with timber casement windows with lozenge shaped lattice casement windows and having timber battened door with ornate strap hinges and stone threshold. Yard to west side with rendered boundary walls.
This pleasing modest structure forms part of an interesting group with its neighbours in the village of Ahenny. A surprisingly urban arrangement for a rural area, the construction of these houses for slate quarry workers, has resulted in continuous roof lines and street lines. The latticed windows and the decorative hinges to the battened door are a lively addition to the streetscape.
