Place & story
A road-corner house
At Carbury Sweep in Ardkill, the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage records a single-storey thatched house already in existence by 1837. Its entrance sits behind an off-centre windbreak, and the house fronts the road on a corner site. The survey describes oat-straw thatch with a rope-twist ridge and roughcast walls, alongside replacement uPVC windows and a glazed door. The record therefore preserves both traditional building features and later fittings, without establishing an exact construction year. Its field survey was recorded on 4 October 2002. [2]
