Lined-and-ruled smooth rendered walls with sting courses at eaves level. Square-headed window openings with stone sills, moulded render architraves with plain and margined timber sliding sash windows.

Roughcast rendered boundary wall with smooth render square-profile piers and recent timber gate to front site.
Appraisal
Arundel is a fine example of suburban housing in the Blackrock area, dating to the early nineteenth century, with its significant setback from the public road and north-facing bow to the rear elevation. The house retains its attractive fenestration and notable render detailing including lined-and-ruled walls, eaves corbels and moulded opening surrounds.
