What is recorded here
Kendal Cottage in the Liberties of Carlingford has paired front windows, ideal for two people watching the same bit of street and coming away with entirely different scandals. ‘He waved at her.’ ‘He was swatting a wasp.’ There goes the afternoon.
Attached two-bay two-storey house, built c. 1820. Rectangular-plan, attached to houses to north and south. Pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, red brick corbelled chimneystacks, limestone verge coping to south gable, cast-iron gutters on drive-in brackets on corbelled eaves course. Painted smooth rendered ruled-and-lined walling, raised block-and-start quoins. Square-headed window openings, painted stone sills, painted timber three-over-six sliding sash windows with exposed cases, paired four-over-four sliding sash windows to ground floor south. Segmental-headed door opening, painted timber architrave, timber spoked fanlight, painted timber vertically-sheeted half door, painted stone threshold. House set back from street, small concrete area to east bounded by painted smooth rendered wall with wrought-iron railings, square gate piers, wrought-iron gates.
This attractive house with its simple well-balanced proportions fits very comfortably into its seaside setting and forms a handsome composition with the similar buildings to its south. A set of paired sash windows add interest to the façade of this fine representative example of domestic architectural development in the early-nineteenth century.
