Description
Terraced three-bay two-storey former mill worker's house, built c. 1790, now in use as house. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, cast-iron rainwater goods and terracotta ridge tiles. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings with concrete sills and three-over-six pane timber casement windows to first floor, double-leaf single-pane timber casement windows to ground floor. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled half-glazed door. Rendered square-profile pier and plinth wall to front (west) boundary.
Appraisal
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 front showing evidence of conscious design. Enhanced by timber fittings and retention of roof slates.
