house

Terraced two-bay three-storey over basement former house, built c. 1800, as a terrace of six with the adjoining houses to the north and south. Now in commercial office use. Roof and rainwater goods hidden from view behind brick parapet, red brick corbelled chimneystack. Red brick walling laid in Flemish bond to west elevation, limestone coping to parapet, painted roughcast-rendered walling to basement. Square-headed window openings, painted smooth rendered patent reveals, painted stone sills, painted timber one-over-one sliding sash windows, uPVC windows to second floor. Segmental-headed door opening, concrete rendered reveals and soffit, concrete surround, plain-glazed fanlight, painted timber door with six raised-and-fielded panels; limestone entrance platform approached by three limestone steps. House set back from street, basement area bound by limestone plinth wall surmounted by wrought-iron railings, cast-iron urn newel post.

The elegant proportions of this building are representative of domestic architectural development in Irish towns in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. The group of six, of which it is an integral part, forms a distinctive unit within the streetscape and contributes to its overall character. Simple but attractive railings with urn newel post and original limestone steps add to the buildings overall appearance.
