Detached four-bay single-storey rubble stone outbuilding with half-attic, c.1850, with square-headed integral carriageways. Now disused. Hipped and gable-ended roof with slate. Red clay ridge tiles. Remains of cast-iron rainwater goods. Random rubble stone construction. Roughcast over to side (south-east) elevation. Painted. Square-headed openings. No sills. Brick block-and-start surrounds. No fittings. Square-headed integral carriageways. Cast-iron lintels with brick dressings over. No fittings. Set perpendicular to road in own part-overgrown grounds with side (south-east) elevation fronting on to road.
This rubble stone outbuilding is a modest-scale range with associations to the former coaching inn (11812008/KD-19-12-08) and coach house (11812005/KD-19-12-05) to north-east – as such it is of social interest as part of a group that helped, historically, to sustain the economic viability of the village of Johnstown. Although in poor condition, the building retains much of its original form and materials, including a slate roof.

The CottageHouse · 13 yd

Explorer Tom The Cottage in Palmerstown inspired a bad poem about its windows that nobody wants to repeat. Only one original window survived the renovation, so it’s basically an impostor now. Take the long way round to avoid the awkward silence it creates.

Arch HouseHouse · 25 yd

Explorer Tom Arch House would survive a zombie attack by just closing its carriage arch and pretending no one is outside. The small windows make it look like it’s squinting suspiciously at every passing car in Palmerstown. Pack a picnic and an umbrella for the drama.

Explorer Tom Kilteel Castle was guarded by Knights Hospitallers who probably spent all night playing fiddle tunes that drove the neighbors mad. It sits on a terrace watching the stream go by, judging your life choices. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Explorer Tom Rathcoole Park in County Dublin has trees that remember every secret whispered beneath them. The wind carries old gossip today. Lean against a trunk and listen for the juicy details from centuries past.
