Historical Information

The first edition OS map of 1834 shows a group of buildings (aligned as current group) to the right side of the road. Unfortunately the Townland Valuation Fieldbook of 1836 field book for the corresponding townland is missing from the Public Records Office at the date of writing. Griffiths Valuation of 1859 records the site as land occupied by Samuel Crawford; the immediate lessor is John Owens, Esq. No buildings are entered under this record, however a hand drawn map is included in the fieldbook which shows a building that appears to be the cottages, this is divided and marked as three separate buildings. The first property is a house and small garden, the total value of the land and buildings is £1.10s, occupied by Isabella Houston, with the lessor as John Graham. The next entry details a house, valued at £0.15s with Margaret Wilson as occupier and the lessor John Allen [son], while the third property is a house and office valued at £1, and occupied by (the aforementioned perhaps) John Allen [son?] References Primary Sources: 1.

Evaluation

An attached multi-bay two-storey end terrace, built c.1820, located on an elevated site to the north side of Ballyeaston Village. The house retains some original features which contribute to the character of the village, along with the remainder of the group (21/04/005A-D). It comprises part of a vernacular grouping but has been compromised by alteration and modernisation and is of a relatively common type of which there are better examples.
