Hipped slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks having stepped capping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on slightly overhanging rendered eaves.

Square-headed window openings (corner window to right first floor) with concrete sills (forming part of course to first floor), and timber casement windows.

Appraisal
A well-appointed middle-size house representing an element of the interwar development of the suburbs of Kilkenny City by the prosperous middle class. Distinctive attributes including a corner window alluding to contemporary Modern styles enliven the architectural design value of the composition while the presentation of an original aspect enhances the positive impression the house makes on the character of the street scene.
