One of a pair of experimental houses built by the Goodbody family as housing for their workforce. Over a period of a hundred years, an amount of worker's housing was constructed by the family but unlike the traditional pitched style utilised by them, these cottages have shallow segmental roofs covered with an experimental felt. This structure, along with its adjoining house, are unique in Clara and contribute positively to the streetscape.
