house

Terraced two-bay two-storey house, extant 1838. Reroofed. Replacement pitched artificial slate roof with ridge tiles, concrete or rendered coping to gable, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves retaining cast-iron downpipe. Part creeper- or ivy-covered rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills[?], and concealed dressings framing two-over-two timber sash windows having part exposed sash boxes. Set back from line of street.

A house representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Westport with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form; and the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing compounded by the uniform or near-uniform proportions of the openings on each floor. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the historic or original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in the streetscape.
