What is recorded here

End-of-terrace four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1830. Hipped and pitched thatched roof with red brick chimneystack. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings with replacement casement windows. Square-headed openings with timber panelled half-glazed door. Rubble stone boundary wall with cast-iron gate to pedestrian entrance.
This terrace of thatched cottages is an unusual example of the English picturesque style in Ireland. These cottages were built outside the gates of Adare Manor at the beginning of the nineteenth century to replace a collection of earlier cottages. The terrace is a highly recognisable feature within the town, which is famous for these thatched houses. They form a group with the nearby structures on the Dunraven estate. Together these structures add much to the site next to the main entrance to Adare Manor.
