What is recorded here

Semi-detached three-bay single-storey estate worker's house, built c.1840. Now in use as a private dwelling. One of a pair with the building adjacent to the east. Pitched natural slate roof having a central shared rendered chimneystack to the east end and with cast-iron rainwater goods. Rubble stone walls with square-headed window openings having stone sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Central square-headed doorway having a timber sheeted door. Road-fronted with garden to the rear (south). Located to the southeast end of Clonmellon and to the northwest of Killua Castle (15306023).
A charming mid-to-late nineteenth century estate worker's house associated with Killua Castle (15306023), which retains its early form, fabric and character. It was reputedly built by Sir Montague Chapman (1808-52), 3rd Baronet, and is unusual for an estate cottage in that it has a distinctly vernacular character. It forms part of an extensive collection of structures associated with Killua Castle and represents an appealing feature in the streetscape to the southeast end of Clonmellon.
