Terraced two-bay three-storey former house, built c.1820, with shopfront to front (north). Formerly also in use as shop, now in use as flats to upper floors. Pitched slate roof with overhanging eaves, having rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls. Camber-headed window openings with render sills and vermiculated keystones to front elevation, having uPVC casement windows. Render shopfront comprising rendered surround surmounted by fascia and moulded cornice. Square-headed window openings with fixed timber-framed display windows with reeded overlights over render stall riser. Square-headed door openings having single- and double-leaf timber panelled doors and single pane overlights.
Appraisal
A fine former house which is of a similar scale and proportion to many of the buildings in the town's historic core, and is an excellent example of the architectural heritage which creates Clonakilty's unique character. The oversailing eaves, lined-and-ruled render, vermiculated keystones, simple shopfront and camber-headed openings add to its traditional charm.
