What is recorded here

Semi-detached six-bay two-storey house, built c. 1840, having projecting single-bay two-storey crenellated bays to front (south) elevation, west end. Hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves and timber brackets. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings to first floor having replacement uPVC windows and painted sills. Square-headed openings to ground floor with bipartite two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed opening to ground floor having two-over-two pane timber sliding margin sash window. Square-headed opening to crenellated bay, west elevation, having replacement uPVC door. Flight of limestone steps to front elevation having geometric tiled floor. Pair of round-profile piers to east having square-profile cast-iron piers with double-leaf spear-headed cast-iron gates.

Built as a one of a pair, this house retains much of its original form, which is enhanced by the sash windows and limestone steps. One of the few castle-style buildings in Cobh, the houses form a pleasing, interesting composition in the landscape.
