Rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed door opening (south) with cut-granite threshold, and concealed dressings framing glazed timber panelled door. Square-headed window openings with cut-granite sills, and concealed dressings framing one-over-one timber sash windows. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.
Appraisal
A house erected as one of a terrace of six houses representing an integral component of the later nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of Enniscorthy with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form; and the uniform or near-uniform proportions of the openings on each floor. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house forming part of a self-contained ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in Saint John's Street.
