Description

Terraced three-bay two-storey house, built c.1830. Fronts directly onto street. Pitched tiled roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. uPVC windows with tooled stone sills. Segmental-headed door opening with stucco surround and uPVC door flanked by pilastered doorcase surmounted by fanlight. Door accessed by concrete step.

Appraisal

This modest terraced house exhibits a simple design and subtly contributes to the streetscape of Emmet Street. It is one of a pair within a row of simple terraced houses that frame the approach into Emmet Square at the centre of Birr. The spoked fanlight is a notable and decorative feature on this modest façade.
