Worker's house in Carstown

Detached three-bay two-storey former worker's house, built c. 1860, now in private domestic use and undergoing extensive renovation. Extension to north under construction. Pitched roof currently stripped, red brick corbelled chimneystacks, red brick eaves course. Random rubble stone walling, dressed limestone quoins. Square-headed window openings, block-and-start brick jambs with flat-capped brick lintels, brick aprons to ground floor south elevation, stone sills, painted timber two-over-two sliding sash windows. Segmental-headed door opening to south elevation, block-and-start brick jambs with brick archivolt, painted timber architrave, painted timber two-panel double doors, plain-glazed fanlight. Corner-sited, set in own grounds; two-storey random rubble stone outbuilding to north, corrugated-iron barrel-roofed random rubble stone outbuilding to east; painted random rubble boundary wall to south and west, soldier coping, pedestrian entrance to south having painted smooth rendered square piers, pyramidal caps and wrought-iron gate.

This house, a fine example of nineteenth-century tenant housing, retains many original features such as its sliding sash windows and simple yet elegant doorway. The close proximity of its associated farm buildings adds further interest to the site.
