Carriage entrance to front with square-profile dressed limestone piers and cast-iron double leaf gate.
Appraisal
This house forms part of an interesting terrace, which is a notable addition to a main road into Youghal town centre. The terrace originally provided accommodation for coastguards. Its unified decorative render details enlivens and accentuates the form of the buildings.
