Description
Terraced two-bay three-storey former house, built c.1820, with recent timber shopfront to front (north). Now in use as shop. Pitched slate roof with overhanging eaves, having rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls having render crest and pair of steel bracing plates below eaves. Camber-headed window openings with render sills to front elevation, having incised rendered voussoirs and uPVC casement windows. Recent timber shopfront, having square-headed window openings with fixed timber-framed display windows over timber panelled stall risers. Square-headed door openings with single- and double-leaf timber panelled double doors with 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 and camber-headed openings add to its traditional charm.
