Description
Terraced three-bay two-storey former estate worker’s house, built c.1820 and now in use as a private dwelling. It was built for the Coolattin estate and is one of a terrace of thirteen houses. The house is rendered. The replacement panelled door and radial fanlight are set within a semi-circular arched opening. Window openings are flat-headed and have two over two top-hung replacement timber frames. The pitched roof is finished with natural slate and has uPVC rainwater goods. Chimneystacks are rendered with slightly corbelled caps and clay pots. The house faces the road. It is slightly set back behind a low rendered wall with square gate pillars and a replacement wrought-iron gate. There is a tarred footpath directly outside the gate and this is all well set back from the road behind a small green.
Appraisal
Despite the replacement windows and uPVC gutters this is a well preserved early estate workers house which is somewhat larger than the typical house of the genre. This adds a considerable variety and quality to the streetscape of the town.
