Hipped and pitched roof on an L-shaped plan (gabled to end bay) with profiled tile, clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks having cornice capping supporting yellow terracotta pots, and iron rainwater goods on timber eaves. Roughcast walls. Square-headed window openings with sills, and timber casement windows having sidelights and/or overlights. Square-headed door opening with replacement glazed timber door. Set back from street in own grounds with fine roughcast boundary wall having rendered coping, rendered piers having pyramidal capping, and flat iron gate [SS].
Appraisal
A pleasant modest-scale house built as one of a development of at least four individual units (including 15603159, 161 - 162) representing an element of the continued development of the outskirts or suburbs of Enniscorthy in the early twentieth century or interwar period. Having been well maintained, the house presents an early aspect with substantial quantities of the original fabric surviving in place including the inventive glazing patterns to most of the openings, thus upholding the integrity of the composition in the streetscape.
