Rendered hoodmouldings over doorways, shared over two houses to the east end. Set slightly back from road with gardens to the front (north).

Appraisal
A simple late nineteenth /early twentieth-century terrace, which retains its early character. The building to the east end retains its early fabric to the openings, which is now a rare feature of early domestic buildings in Mullingar. Although of differing sizes and form, this terrace presents a uniform and interesting composition. The well-detailed canted-bay windows and the simple railings are interesting features that add incident to the streetscape to the east end of Mullingar.
