What is recorded here

Terraced three-bay single-storey estate worker’s house, c.1775, retaining early aspect. Now disused and part derelict. One of a terrace of four. Pitched (shared) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond (shared) chimney stack, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Unpainted roughcast walls. Square-headed window openings with stone sills, and 2/2 timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening with timber boarded door, and overlight. Road fronted.
A pleasant small-scale house, built as one of a terrace of four houses (including 22809057, 211 - 2/WD-21-09-57, 211 - 2) sponsored by the Duke of Devonshire for workers on the Lismore Castle estate. Although now disused and in the early stages of dereliction, the house retains its original form and massing, together with most of the early fabric, which enhances the historic quality of the composition. The house, together with the remainder in the terrace, forms an attractive feature in the streetscape of New Street.
