Description
Terraced single-bay two-storey vernacular house, built c.1820, having full-width single-storey flat-roofed extension to rear (east) elevation which continues across part of neighbouring house to north. Disused brick-built lean-to privy with concrete roof attached to north wall of neighbouring building in rear garden of subject site. Pitched slate roof to house with black clay ridge tiles, partially roughcast rendered brick chimneystack, and half-round cast-iron rainwater goods. Limewashed roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered projecting base, and walls to rear extension partly composed of assorted sheets of plywood and board. Square-headed window openings throughout, with painted stone sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash frames. Square-headed timber sheeted front door to front and replacement glazed doors to extension. Lower walls of demolished stone outbuilding to rear aligned parallel to terrace of houses.
Appraisal
This house, in a terrace of three similar dwellings, is a rare survival in an Irish small town. Likely dating to the nineteenth century. It is possible that the roof was thatched originally and the window frames may have had smaller panes.
