What is recorded here

Detached two-bay single-storey former railway worker's cottage, built c.1880, currently in use as private holiday accommodation. Hipped artificial slate roof with clay ridge tiles and uPVC rainwater goods. Single brick chimneystack to centre of ridge. Constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble with brick detailing to openings. Shallow segmental-headed window openings with replacement timber casement windows and cut stone sills. Single timber sheeted door to front elevation (north). Located adjacent to Multyfarnham Railway Station on small country road.
A charming former railway worker's cottage in a rural setting forming part of the group of buildings which make up the former Multyfarnham station complex. Its location adjacent to the level crossing gates (51304021) suggests that this modest structure may have been built as a level crossing guard's house. Although some of the original materials have been lost, the cottage retains its original simple plan form and detailing. It is an important example of this type of building associated with the development of the railway in Ireland.
