What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey former mill worker's house, built c. 1790, having half-glazed lean-to conservatory to front (south-west) elevation, and single-storey two-bay outbuilding to north-west gable. Now in use as house. Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings having six-over-three pane timber sliding sash windows to first floor and six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows to ground floor. Square-headed door openings with timber panelled half-glazed door. Conservatory having timber-framed glazed panels with pointed-arch lights with Y-tracery and coloured glass. Square-profile piers with double-leaf wrought-iron pedestrian gates to site.
One of a group of interesting structures associated with Monard and Coolowen Ironworks, spade and shovel manufacturing enterprise established by Abraham Beale in the late eighteenth century. Closed late as 1960. Symmetrical fenestration showing evidence of conscious design. Enhanced by timber fittings and retention of roof slates. Interesting coloured glass to conservatory.
