Description
Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1880. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with painted stone sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening with timber battened door. Square-profile rendered piers flanking wrought-iron pedestrian gate to rendered boundary wall.
Appraisal
This building's simple façade is much enlivened by the retention of its varied timber sliding sash windows. Set slightly back from the road, the house appears to have been influenced by the local vernacular style, which was lost in the area following Ballincollig's expansion in the twentieth century. Though some of its historic features have been removed, this modest house remains a reminder of a lost tradition.
