Semi-detached two-bay two-storey house, built 1901, with two-storey gabled box bay window to right, and single-bay single-storey gabled projecting glazed porch to side (north-west) elevation. One of a pair. Pitched (shared) slate roof (gabled to box bay window; gabled to porch) with terracotta ridge tiles having finial to apex, rendered chimney stack, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves having consoles. Painted rendered, ruled and lined wall to front (south-west) elevation with unpainted roughcast walls to remainder. Square-headed window openings (including to box bay window in quasi-Venetian arrangement having round-headed central opening) with cut-stone sills, hood moulding over to left ground floor, one-over-one timber sash windows (having camber-headed upper light to left ground floor with fixed-pane overlight), and fixed-pane timber windows to box bay window with casement overlights having margins. Square-headed openings to porch with glazed timber panelled door having fixed-pane sidelights, and overlight. Set back from road in own grounds with painted rendered boundary wall having iron railings over, and painted rendered piers having iron gate.
An attractive modest-scale house built as one of a pair (with 12006024/KK-4766-10-24) identified in the street scene by the inventive features enhancing the architectural design value of the composition: elegant glazing patterns enliven the external expression of the house by juxtaposing Tudor-like openings having hood mouldings with Classically-derived Venetian-style openings reminiscent of an arrangement associated with contemporary houses developed in the Newtown suburb of nearby County Waterford (see Holmacre (House) and Gortmore (House) in NIAH Waterford County Survey 2003). Having been well maintained the house presents an early aspect, thereby making a positive impression on the character of the streetscape.

KincoraHouse · 10 yd

Explorer Tom Kincora in Pennefatherslot is paired with its neighbour, both wearing elegant glazing patterns like they’re going to a formal dinner. Legend says a fiddler played here all night until the walls started humming along. Look up, the best view is of your own reflection.

Saint Hilda'sHouse · 19 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Hilda's in Pennefatherslot, County Kilkenny has a Venetian-style window that looks completely lost in the middle of nowhere. Rumor has it there’s a hidden tunnel to the pub, but I’m pretty sure it just leads to the garden shed. Have a look around.

GlencarHouse · 29 ydGraveyard in Gardens (kilkenny City By., St. John's Par.)Graveyard · 213 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Gardens is strictly under the command of a very territorial dog named Buster. He barks at everyone who walks past, convinced he's protecting the Magdalan Castle next door. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

CastleCastle, tower house · 297 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Gardens is proud of being the only tower house that actually got to keep its job for centuries. It looks like it’s about to collapse into the street any minute now. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.

Explorer Tom Tomb in Gardens is where a knight and his wife nap forever, though he lost his head and feet. Rumour has it his mother-in-law designed this layout to annoy him eternally. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

Explorer Tom Almshouse in Gardens is sick of people asking if they can nap there for free. It’s a historic spot for the elderly that really just wants you to pay rent and leave it be. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
