Square-headed window opening with fixed timber-framed display window over rendered stall riser. Square-headed door opening having glazed timber door with decorative overlight.
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, timber sliding sash windows and camber-headed openings add to its traditional charm.
