Description
Terraced two-bay three-storey house, built c. 1820. One of a terrace of three with neighbours to the east (13002023 and 13002024). Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack to the east end. Unpainted rendered walls, lined-and-ruled. Square-headed window openings with replacement timber casement windows, painted sills, and wrought-iron sill guard to ground floor. Round-headed entrance opening with replacement timber panelled door and with spider’s web fanlight. Set directly onto the street. Located to the south side of Church Street and to the north end of Longford Town centre.
Appraisal
A simple but pleasing house of early nineteenth-century appearance with classical proportions exhibited by the diminishing window openings to the façade. It retains its scale and form, as well as much character despite the replacement of windows. The simple spider’s web fanlight is an interesting survival. Significant in its own right, and also one of a group of three along with its neighbours to the east (13002023 and 13002024). It makes a positive contribution to the architectural heritage of Longford Town, adding to the streetscape to the north end of the town.
