The Cottage in Commons, house in County Meath

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey house, built c.1880, with gabled and glazed projecting entrance bay. Roughcast rendered walls with cement rendered quoins. Half-hipped slate roof with cast-iron ridge cresting, eaves dentils and cement rendered chimneystacks. Square-headed openings with timber two-over-two sash windows. Corrugated-iron outbuildings to rear.

This attractive single-storey house is set within its own grounds on the bank of the Boyne. Though modest in size, the level of architectural detailing is high, as are the materials which are employed in its execution.
