What is recorded here
Semi-detached three-bay three-storey house, built c.1820, with return to rear. Set back from road. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Ruled-and-lined render to walls. Timber sash windows with tooled stone sills. Round-headed door opening with coved surround, timber spoked fanlight, timber panelled door and limestone threshold. Bounded by low plinth wall with cut stone capping surmounted by cast-iron railings and gate. Stone outbuilding with corrugated-iron roof and carriage arch opening to rear site.
As one of a pair of semi-detached houses, this house is a positive contributor to the streetscape. Although vacant, the house has not fallen into a state of disrepair and fortunately retains many of its original features, including the timber sash windows and decorative door surround. Paired with the neighbouring structure, an aesthetically pleasing couple is created within the streetscape of Oxmantown Mall, which leads to the gates of Birr Castle Demesne.
