Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls with render plinth.

Appraisal
This modest building is enhanced by the finely-detailed render shopfront. This displays fluted pilasters, a moulded cornice and an elegant timber window with carved spandrels. It is one of the most decorative shopfronts in Roscrea.
