What is recorded here

Terraced two-bay two-storey former estate worker’s house, built c.1835 as one of a largely uniform row of seven and now a private dwelling. The façade is finished in rubble, with granite dressings to the openings (some sections of which are painted). The pitched roof is slated and has a shared granite chimneystack with corbelling. The entrance consists of a partly glazed replacement timber door. The windows are flat-headed and have replacement uPVC frames. Cast-iron rainwater goods. The building faces onto a street but is separated from it by a small garden enclosed by a low rendered wall.
This former estate worker’s house is part of a larger grouping whose rustic charm in many respects defines Shillelagh; the property’s impact has been lessened somewhat by the replacement front door and window frames, but this has not seriously diminished its overall value to the streetscape.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
