Description

A pair of two-bay single-storey direct-entry vernacular houses dating from the late nineteenth century, located on the west side of Camowen Road near Omagh. The dwellings have since been converted into one residence. Each cottage originally had a rectangular plan with direct entry.

The buildings are constructed of rubble stone with lime render and feature pitched natural slate roofs laid in diminishing courses—a technique localised to the area for buildings of this type. Red brick corbelled chimneys sit on both structures. Windows are square-headed timber-framed 2/2 sliding sash with exposed sash boxes supported by timber lintels and painted concrete sills. The principal south-facing elevation of each dwelling comprises a central vertically-sheeted timber door flanked by single windows, though the left window is now blocked. The west gable is blank. The north elevation contains three windows of differing sill heights, with the window to the right blocked. The east gable is blank.

The pair first appears on the third edition Ordnance Survey map of 1906 within the grounds of Camowen Green. The fabric suggests late nineteenth-century construction, though a precise date cannot be determined from primary sources. The buildings appear to have replaced an earlier cottage of similar plan located slightly to the west, which is shown on the second edition map of 1854 and mentioned in Griffith's Valuation.

According to Annual Revision records, two tenants initially occupied the cottages: Mary Reid and John Johnston, each valued at fifteen shillings, with John Norris (occupier of Camowen Green) as lessor. When Robert Harvey became occupier of Camowen Green in 1867–68, he also became lessor of these properties. The cottages fell vacant in 1902, though one was let to John A Charters in 1914. The dwellings were combined into a single dwelling during the early twentieth century. A valuers' note of 1934 records the property as a "large old one storey house in moderate order—was 2 cottier houses at one time" held as a service tenancy with no rent paid.

The building sits in agricultural land at the corner of a lane leading to Camowen Green, with access to farmland at the west bounded by hedging. Although the dwellings retain their original form, materials, and internal fabric, they are of a late date and not among the finest examples of their type.
