Church View in Kilmallock, house in County Limerick

What is recorded here

Church View in Kilmallock wears a row of fancy terracotta crestings above its replacement plastic windows and door. The house has accepted modern life, but you’ll prise the wedding tiara off it over its dead body.

Terraced two-bay two-storey house, built c. 1830. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge crestings, brick chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls with render plinth course having cast-iron vent. Square-headed openings with limestone sills and replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed opening having glazed overlight over replacement uPVC door.

This house, part of a modest terrace, retains most of its original form. Despite the insertion of inappropriate materials, the house presents a pleasing façade to the streetscape. The roofline is particularly ornate having terracotta ridge crestings and brick chimneystacks, which enlivens the roofline of Sheares Street.
