Description
Detached three-bay two-storey house, post-1923, on a symmetrical plan. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles terminating in rendered chimney stacks having "Cavetto" stringcourses below capping supporting terracotta pots, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber eaves boards retaining cast-iron downpipes. Rendered, ruled and lined walls with rusticated rendered quoins to ends. Square-headed central door opening with concrete step threshold, and concealed dressings framing timber panelled door having overlight. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills, and concealed dressings framing one-over-one timber sash windows. Road fronted.
Appraisal
A house erected as the successor to an earlier house (extant 1838) displaying a comparable footprint on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey (published 1839) and thereby regarded as an integral component of the early twentieth-century domestic built heritage of Crossmolina with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such traits as the compact rectilinear 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 making a pleasing visual statement in the streetscape.
