Rose Cottage in Kentstown, house in County Meath

What is recorded here

Rose Cottage in Kentstown has sash windows so small that a proper neighbourhood investigation would need a booking system. One eye at a time, Mary. There are others waiting to be appalled.

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1800, with single-storey porch. Hipped slate roof with red brick chimneystack. Rendered walls. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Outbuildings to the north.

The modest form of this house is enhanced by the retention of many original features and materials. Of particular interest are the timber sash windows which are set in small openings, which are representative of the vernacular tradition in Ireland. This house makes a positive contribution to the streetscape.
