Hipped (shared) slate roof (pitched to advanced bay) with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, zinc-lined coping, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods on timber eaves. Unpainted rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings (including to box bay window originally in tripartite arrangement having moulded cornice, and zinc-lined blocking course) with concrete sills, and replacement uPVC casement windows. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door having overlight.

Appraisal
A pleasantly-composed modest-scale house built as one of a pair (with 12006022/KK-4766-10-22) representing an element of the continued development of the suburbs of Kilkenny City in the early twentieth century. Although the retention of the original composition attributes maintains some of the integrity of the site the inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings have not had a beneficial impact on the external expression of the house.
