What is recorded here

Terraced two-bay single-storey with dormer attic former worker's house, built 1815, now in use as house. Pitched slate roof with timber eaves brackets, circular- and octagonal-profile red brick chimneystacks, dormer windows and cast-iron rainwater goods. Dressed rubble limestone walls. Square-headed window openings with stone sills, brick block-and-start surrounds and bipartite timber casement quarry-glazed windows. Square-headed door opening with brick block-and-start surround having timber battened door with overlight. Shared rubble limestone enclosing walls to front having limestone coping and wrought-iron pedestrian gates.
Designed by Thomas Cundy, this former estate worker's house is one of eight built in a picturesque group at the main entrance to Coolmore House. This group, along with other demesne buildings, is a reminder of the scale and wealth of the demesne in the past. It was used as a workshop by the estate carpenter in 1850. The slate roofs, delightful chimneystacks, quarry glazed windows and timber battened doors are among the many original features which add to the group's character.
