Worker's house in Ballinvira, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Worker's house in Ballinvira belonged to the Hollywood House estate, so you could truthfully announce you’d landed a place in Hollywood. Let the relations finish fighting over the spare bed before mentioning the estate work.

Detached three-bay single-storey estate worker's house, built c. 1860, having lean-to to south elevation. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and limestone sills. Square-headed opening with timber battened door. Single-leaf cast-iron gate to east.

This former estate worker's house retains much of its original form and structure. Its modest proportions are enhanced by the retention of the slate roof and sash windows. The house provides historical and social context to the area and is associated with Hollywood House. Set slightly back from the road, it forms a pleasing roadside feature.
