Worker's house in Lissinagroagh

Detached two-bay single-storey with attic former railway house, built c.1860, with lean-to entrance porch to south. No longer in use. Pitched slate roof with ashlar chimneystacks and bracketed eaves. Painted cut limestone walls. Timber sash windows and stone sills. Replacement timber and glazing door. Enclosed yard to rear of site with sheds. Positioned at a former level crossing on the Sligo, Leitrim & Northern Counties Railway line.

This former railway worker's cottage located at a level crossing on the Sligo, Leitrim and North Counties Railway line is a good example of the type of dwelling built by the railways along their lines to house workers at level crossings and stations. The house retains many original features including interior features. The cottage is in poor condition now but was occupied until c.1992.
