Description
Terraced two bay three-storey house, built c.1830, with single-bay two-storey return to rear. Pitched slate roof with red brick chimneystack having stepped cornice and terracotta pots, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Red brick walls to front, laid in Flemish bond, with yellow brick block-and-start quoins and surrounds to openings. Smooth rendered walls to rear and return. Square-headed window openings with replacement uPVC windows, and stone sills. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door and overlight. Outbuildings to rear concealed by random rubble wall with square-headed door openings. House constitutes one of a terrace of eight identical houses.
Appraisal
This house is part of an impressive terraced of red brick dwellings. The terrace constitutes a fine example of the type of housing built beyond the immediate centre of Victorian towns around the turn of the nineteenth century to alleviate the overcrowding of town centres. Despite the loss of some integral fabric, principally the window fittings, this building and the rest of its group make a fine contribution to the architectural heritage of Monaghan.
