House on Swag Street, Offaly

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Terrace of three three-bay single-storey houses, built c.1820, with abutting two-storey outbuilding to north. Set back from road. Pitched slate roofs with red brick chimneystacks and some cast-iron rainwater goods. Lime-washed walls with exposed stone walls in places. Roughcast rendered wall to outbuilding. Timber sash windows with painted sills, rectangular slit openings to outbuilding. Square-headed door openings with timber battened doors. Grass verge to front of site.

Though modest in design and small in stature, these cottages create a terrace of similar structures that contribute to Crinkill's streetscape. Their façades are enlivened by their timber sash windows and battened doors.
