Appraisal
This terrace of thatched cottages is an unusual example of the English picturesque style in Ireland. These cottages were built outside the gates of Adare Manor at the beginning of the nineteenth century to replace a collection of earlier cottages. The terrace is a highly recognisable feature within the town, which is famous for these thatched houses. They form a group with the nearby structures on the Dunraven estate. Together these structures add much to the site next to the main entrance to Adare Manor. This example retains notable features such as the timber windows.
