Description
End-of-terrace three-bay two-storey former estate worker’s house, built c.1820 and now in use as a private house. It was built for the Coolattin estate and is one of a terrace of thirteen houses. The house is rendered. The panelled door and radial fanlight are set within a semi-circular arched opening. Window openings are flat-headed and have three over six top-hung replacement timber windows. The hipped roof is finished with artificial 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. It adds a considerable variety and quality to the streetscape of the town.
