What is recorded here

End-of-terrace gable-fronted single-bay single-storey with dormer attic former estate worker's house, built 1815, having gable-fronted breakfront bay to three-bay side elevation (east). Now in use as private house. Pitched slate roof with timber eaves brackets, circular- and octagonal-profile red brick chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Timber bargeboards to gables. Dressed rubble limestone walls having tooled limestone quoins. Square-headed window openings with stone sills, having painted brick block-and-start surrounds with bipartite and tripartite timber casement windows with quarry-glazing. Square-headed door opening to front elevation, having brick and render block-and-start surround with chamfered reveals. Timber battened door with quarry glazed overlight and sidelight. Shared rubble limestone enclosing wall to front having limestone coping and wrought-iron pedestrian gate.
Designed by Thomas Cundy, this former estate worker's house is one of eight built in a picturesque group at the main entrance to Coolmore House. This group, along with other demesne buildings, is a reminder of the scale and wealth of the demesne in the past. It was occupied by the estate carpenter in 1850. The slate roofs, delightful chimneystacks, quarry glazed windows and timber battened doors are among the many original features which add to the group's character.
