Square-headed openings with glazed overlights over replacement timber doors.
Appraisal
As one of the few detached buildings in the streetscape, this building is distinguished by its subtle classical form and elegantly proportioned façade. Despite the insertion of a later shopfront, it presents an early aspect and retains much of its original form, together with salient features such as the slate roof and sash windows. On the third edition Ordnance Survey map of Kilmallock it is identified as a school.
