Appraisal
This building is a good example of a modest-scale labourer’s cottage that is imbued with a quasi-vernacular quality. The cottage has been well-maintained and retains much of its original materials, including timber sash fenestration and a slate roof, while the addition to rear (south-west) does not interrupt the original form considerably. The cottage is one of a pair (including 11815006/KD-19-15-06) and is of some social significance, representing an example of the smaller-scale buildings that constitute part of the architectural heritage of the village of Kill.
