House in Grantstown

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1940, with porch addition, built c. 1960, and single-storey extensions to rear having lean-to and pitched slate roofs. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, decoratively-carved timber bargeboards and cast-iron rainwater goods. Flat roof to porch with decorative rendered parapet. Painted rendered walls with moulded rendered string course, smooth rendered eaves course and rendered quoins. Square-headed window openings with timber sliding sash one-over-one pane windows, barred to ground floor, with rendered surrounds and painted stone sills. Cast-iron casement windows to porch. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door, sidelights and overlight. Rendered walls and gate piers with wrought-iron pedestrian and double-leaf gates to front boundary of house.

An attractive example of a mid-twentieth century house with fine decorative rendered detailing. The house is pleasantly located behind rendered boundary walls and wrought-iron gates and largely retains its original form and character.
