What is recorded here

End-of-terrace gable-fronted two-bay single-storey with dormer attic former worker's house, dated 1815, having gable-fronted projecting bay to side (west) and recent conservatory to rear (south). Now in use as private house. Pitched slate roofs with timber eaves brackets, diagonally set red brick chimneystacks, recent rooflights and cast-iron rainwater goods. Dressed rubble limestone walls having tooled limestone quoins. Square-headed window openings with stone sills throughout, having brick block-and-start surrounds and uPVC casement windows. Square-headed door opening with tooled limestone block-and-start surround to front elevation having brick voussoirs and replacement 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. This house was occupied by John Murphy in 1850 and may have acted as the gate lodge. 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.
