Square-headed window openings with stone sills. Remains of granite bollards to street.
Appraisal
This terrace of six houses displays well-executed details such as the decorative bargeboards and carved timber canopy brackets. Although the houses are modest in form, the terrace of six makes a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. These former estate workers' houses were built by the Pepper family of Balrath Castle.
