What is recorded here

Semi-detached four-bay single-storey house, built c.1910, having corrugated-iron porch to front (north-east) and single-pitch extension to rear (south-west). Hipped slate roof with red brick chimneystack and uPVC rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with rendered plinth. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills and one-over-one pane margined timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening with glazed timber door set in porch. Square-profile rendered piers to front of site flanking replacement timber gate.
Simple in design, this former labourer's house is an unusually intact example of the rural houses which were built by local authorities following the Land Acts of the 1880s. The building retains its original form and notable features including timber margin light sash windows and a later corrugated-iron porch addition. Though its pair has lost much of its historic fabric, this house could be used as template for its reinstatement.
