Terraced five-bay two-storey house, built c.1900, having integral carriage opening and disused shopfront. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Unpainted rendered walls with decorative metal vents. Square-headed one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with limestone sills, having wrought-iron window guards to ground floor windows. Round-headed door opening with replacement timber panelled door and plain fanlight. Render shopfront comprises stepped cornice over plain pilasters with consoles, timber panelled double-leaf door with overlight and timber display window with rounded corners, and render stall riser and limestone plinth.
The broad street frontage and prominent position in The Square make this a significant contribution to the architectural heritage of Fethard. The façade is enhanced by the retention of fabric such as the roof slates and timber sash windows which give it a patina of age. The shopfront is notable for its large scale clearly defined forms, which suits the simple fenestration, straight roof line and massive chimneystack.
