Read the whole record

Terraced three-bay two-storey house, c.1900, probably incorporating fabric of earlier range, pre-1840, on site. Pitched (shared) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered (shared) chimney stacks, and iron rainwater goods on timber eaves. Unpainted roughcast walls with painted rendered quoins to end. Square-headed window openings with painted sills, and one-over-one timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening with glazed timber panelled door. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.

Presenting an early aspect with the original composition characteristics in place together with most of the historic fabric a modest-scale house makes a positive contribution to the streetscape value of Castlecomer Road.
