house

Terraced two-bay two-storey house, built c.1930, with canted bay to ground floor north bay. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Hipped slate roof to canted bay. Smooth rendered walls. Square-headed openings to first floor with render surround, rendered sills and one-over-one timber sliding sash windows, paired to north bay. Square-headed openings to canted bay having rendered sills with two-over-two (front) and one-over-one (sides) timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening with timber glazed door and overlight. Rendered boundary wall with wrought-iron railings and pedestrian gate.

An intact early twentieth-century terraced house which is a rare example retaining many early features and materials. The timber detailing throughout is noteworthy as is the canted bay and timber sliding sash windows which are well-crafted examples of their type. The composition of house and boundary walls is a pleasing addition to the urban streetscape of Skibbereen.
