What is recorded here
Worker's house in Glenosheen has a pointed doorway fit for a bishop and the floor space of a cottage. You'd arrive ready to announce a royal marriage and discover the entire congregation asking you to shut the door because the kettle's on.
Detached three-bay one-and-half storey worker's cottage, built c. 1840, with gabled porch to front (east) elevation. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rubble sandstone walls having roughly dressed sandstone quoins. Segmental-headed openings having cast-iron windows, red brick voussoirs, limestone sills and cut limestone label-mouldings. Pointed arch opening having red brick surround and voussoirs and replacement timber panelled door. Wrought-iron pedestrian gate flanked by roughly dressed sandstone piers and boundary walls with stile.
This modest worker's house is of apparent architectural design and detailing and is a picturesque addition to the surrounding landscape. It retains its original fabric, such as the slate roof, windows and sandstone masonry. This former estate worker's house forms one of a pair of cottages located within the nucleated settlement of Glenosheen.
