Terraced two-bay two-storey house over basement, built c.1820, with shopfront to ground floor and extension to rear. Fronts directly onto street. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles and cast-iron rainwater goods. Ruled-and-lined render to facade with rendered quoins to first floor. Replacement windows with tooled stone sills. Replacement timber panelled door to domestic quarters. Central glazed timber door with overlight to shopfront flanked by display windows on stallrisers. Timber pilasters support timber fascia board.
This traditional style shopfront elevates the terraced house. The timber pilasters and timber fascia board enhance this attractive building. The shopfront has been sensitively maintained, contributing to the positive architectural character of Birr's main shopping street.

TierneyHouse · 21 yd

Explorer Tom Tierney in Townparks would be the best-dressed guest at any wedding, showing off its carved console brackets. It stands proudly in Market Square, judging your outfit as you pass. Pretend you didn't notice the stare.

W.k. FayleHouse · 26 ydBirr CastleCastle · 245 ydEmmet SquareMonument · 300 ydOriental plane337 yd

Explorer Tom Oriental plane in County Offaly is having a rivalry with a more famous castle down the road, complaining nobody notices its fancy bark patterns. It’s very dramatic about its lack of fame. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.

Birr Heritage CentreMuseum · 405 ydGrey Poplar488 yd

Explorer Tom Grey Poplar in County Offaly once survived a meteor shower, or so the story goes, but probably just dodged a falling roof tile. It acts like it saw a ghost. Bring your own legend, I've run out.

River WalkWalking route · 590 ydCloghan CastleCastle · 7.0 miBanagher TowerMartello tower · 7.7 mi

Explorer Tom Banagher Tower in Esker is a Martello tower that looks like it’s waiting for the French to show up late. It’s got a job interview answer of 'I stand still.' Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous you’re hanging out with history.

Redwood CastleCastle · 8.6 mi

Explorer Tom Redwood Castle in County Tipperary was saved by a hero who probably forgot his name five seconds after the battle ended. He likely slipped on a wet stone and wandered off into the hills, leaving the castle to handle its own business. It’s a bit of a loner, so don’t expect it to high-five you.
