End-of-terrace two-bay two-storey local authority house, built 1953, on a rectangular plan. "Disposed", 1973. One of a terrace of four forming part of a group of thirty-four. Pitched profiled concrete tile roof with concrete ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack having concrete capping supporting terracotta pots, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods on timber box eaves. Roughcast walls on rendered chamfered base. Square-headed door opening (east) with concrete step threshold, and concealed dressings with "Cavetto"-detailed canopy on beaded consoles framing glazed timber panelled door. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills, and concealed dressings framing timber casement windows. Set back from street on a slightly elevated site with roughcast piers to perimeter having concrete capping supporting iron gate.
A house erected as one of a group of thirty-four houses (including 15502114) representing an integral component of the mid twentieth-century built heritage of Wexford (cf. 15502085 - 15502086). Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house forming part of a self-contained ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in Mannix Place.
