Avrei strappato la N17 il tempo dispari per il lavoro e tengo sempre d’occhio questi carini vicino a Charlestown. Ce ne sono Hapes in tutta l’Irlanda che immagino, ma sono distintamente abbondanti lungo quella rotta. Qualche appassionato di patrimonio architettonico sanno da quale decennio vengono di solito? Per chi sono stati costruiti (fattoria in fattoria?) Perché hanno optato per un tetto alla moda su un timpano più tradizionale trovato su cottage precedenti e bungalow successivi?
È bello sembrare che un po ‘venga restaurato, ma è un peccato quando sono semplicemente intonacati e dipingono tutti i dettagli originali che hanno aggiunto il personaggio.
Se qualcun altro ha una passione per particolari stili di costruzione, sentiti libero di condividere! Inoltre, se vivi in uno o ne hai rinnovato e/o esteso, benvenuto a condividere le tue esperienze.

While I’m not particularly knowledgeable of Charlestown’s weather, hip roofs are better for windy weather than gable roofs – which is at least relevant in the west.
I know nothing about them but I’ve always loved them. Gorgeous wee houses
From what I know I think they’re houses farmers built on spare plots of land to make a bit of money, common from 50’s-70’s. That’s my guess anyways
These houses appear to be Irish railway cottages or gatekeeper’s cottages, a common architectural style found in Ireland from the mid-to-late 19th century.
These houses were typically built for railway workers, estate gatekeepers, or rural laborers. Their compact design and durable construction made them practical for housing workers near transport routes or estates.
I’m wondering are these farm labourers cottages built by local councils?
A friend lives in similar albeit they are adjoining would you believe.
