house

End-of-terrace three-bay two-storey house, built c.1880, with shopfront to ground floor. Fronts directly onto street. Pitched tiled roof with terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Ruled-and-lined render to ground floor with roughcast render to first floor, smooth render plinth, quoins and string course. Timber casement windows with painted sills. Square-headed door opening having timber panelled door with overlight. Shopfront comprises large display windows, glazed timber door with overlight. Shopfront flanked by fluted pilasters with console brackets, timber fascia and cornice. Stone outbuilding with corrugated roof to north. Site to north bounded by random coursed rubble wall and accessed through corrugated-iron gate.

This well proportioned but modestly designed house is enhanced by the survival of original and early fabric and materials, such as the timber casement windows and timber panelled door. The simple timber pilastered shopfront is a pleasant example and enhances the overall façade. This building, situated in the centre of Cloghan, makes a positive addition to the streetscape.
