Camber-headed openings to dormer having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows throughout. Square-headed window openings to first and second floors with render surrounds and continuous sill courses. Shopfront comprising render pilasters with ornate consoles supporting timber cornice and fascia.

Square-headed openings to end-bays with overlights over timber panelled double-leaf doors.
Appraisal
This building's size and scale are similar to the surrounding buildings and therefore make a positive contribution to the streetscape. The mansard roof is an uncommon feature in Ireland, but is characteristic of some terraces in Cobh. Well-executed decorative render features such as the window surrounds enliven its façade. The shopfront is particularly well preserved and adds artistic interest to the building.
