What is recorded here
Pair of semi-detached three-bay two-storey former workers' houses, built c.1900, now in use as private houses. Pair of advanced gable-fronted blocks with box-bay windows, flanked by single-storey single-bay cat-slide roofed porches and single-bay single-storey wings, having lean-to extensions to rear (south). Pitched slate roofs to gable-fronted blocks with hipped roofs to wings, having terracotta finials, red brick eaves course and cast-iron rainwater goods. Dressed sandstone walls, having red brick quoins and string courses. Round-headed window openings with tooled limestone sills to front elevation gables with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed window openings to sprocketed roofed box-bays with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed window openings with stone sills elsewhere, having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with red brick block-and-start surrounds. Square-headed window openings with timber sills to porches, having fixed timber-framed window. Round-headed door openings to porches. Red brick and rendered enclosing wall with railings to front of site.
Built in association with Kilcrenagh House (now in ruins), these houses form an interesting feature in the area due to their unique design. The use of red brick and sandstone creates textural variation and enlivens the façade. This fine pair retains much of its original fabric and character.
