Carrigeen House

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1910, with gabled end bay with double-height canted bay window to front elevation and single-bay single-storey porch to front elevation. Lower two-storey lean-to addition to rear and single-bay single-storey lean-to entrance extension to east elevation. Pitched slate roofs with red brick chimneystacks, cast-iron rainwater goods, and timber bargeboards. Hipped slate roofs to bay window and porch. Painted roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings with timber casement windows having small-pane overlights, and concrete sills, those to bay windows having continuous sills. Square-headed entrance doorway to porch with timber panelled half-glazed double doors. Porch comprising roughcast rendered riser wall with timber glazing above having small-pane overlights, and concrete sill. Square-headed inner door opening with timber panelled half-glazed door.

The form and size of this house are typical of modest urban houses of its time. The use of multiple gables and the canted-bay window are also characteristic. Decoration is limited to these architectural features and to the timber windows which create a simple yet interesting façade to the structure. The building retains much of its original fabric including the red brick chimneystacks and render sill courses.
