Appraisal
Built as part of a terrace of houses, originally known as "Lander's Terrace", this house retains much of its original character and charm. The duel aspect of the terrace, with its rendered front facing the sheltered street, and its wonderfully textured slate front facing the exposed sea, allows it to make a notable contribution to the local area, whether seen from land or sea. Retaining many original features, including timber sliding sash windows, panelled doors and overlights, the terrace is particularly notable for its slate hanging, a feature which was once found throughout exposed areas of Munster, but which is now sadly hard to find.
