Description
This is a Chartist bungalow, likely dating to around 1847. It is constructed of roughcast on stone rubble with rendered quoins at the corners, and has a slate hipped roof with rendered end stacks and a central stack to the rear. The building is a single-storey, three-bay range, with the central bay projecting forward. A 20th-century lean-to porch with a part-glazed door is situated in the centre. There are 20th-century single-light casement windows to the left and right of the centre bay, and two-light casements to the left and right. A cross-gable is above the central bay. The interior remains uninspected. This building is part of Charterville, the third of five estates created by the National Land Company in 1845. This company, founded by Feargus O'Connor, aimed to allow people from factory towns to live on smallholdings and to gain the right to vote. The Land Company ultimately faced difficulties and dissolved in July 1851.
