What is recorded here

Worker's house in Johnstown shares its middle with a neighbour, but each gets a separate little stone porch. That’s a very Irish treaty: we’ll share a wall for two hundred years, but I’m not standing under your porch and owing you a favour.

Pair of semi-detached two-bay two-storey former estate workers' houses, built c.1820, with pair of central porches. Pitched slate roofs with red brick chimneystacks and timber barge boards. Roughcast rendered walls, with exposed stone walls to porch. Timber sash windows with stone sills.
This pair of picturesque former estate workers' houses make a notable and positive contribution to the surrounding area, due to their form and proximity to the roadside. The survival of many original features and materials enhance the modest form of this pair. The small gabled dormer windows and porch windows are interesting features of this pair. They may have been related to Athlumney House.
