What is recorded here
The Cottages in Clondalkin fit three homes into one old farm building. Tell a cow her shed would one day house three households and she'd laugh till you mentioned Dublin; then she'd ask what you were getting for her end.
Detached former farm outbuilding, c.1780, now in use as group of three single-storey terraced houses. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered base course. Timber sash and replacement casement windows. Timber doors, one of which incorporated into a gabled porch. Pitched slate roofs with beige brick chimney stacks. Cylindrical roughcast rendered gate pier to corner of site facing street.
This converted farm building, originally part of a small group in association with the original farmhouse, retains its original proportions, and is a valuable reminder of the former rural land use in this area. Their conversion is a good example of the continuity of use and change of function often seen in modest vernacular structures. Included is a cylindrical gate pier peculiar to this part of the county.
