house

Corner-sited two-bay three-storey terraced house, built c.1800, with dormer attic, shopfront to ground floor and having oriel window to east gable. Flat-roofed annex to rear supported on concrete columns. Hipped slate roof, with rendered chimneystack, dormer windows to rear and east end, rendered eaves course and cast-iron rainwater goods. Ruled-and-lined rendered wall to front with render quoins, rendered wall to rear and ground floor of east gable, and slate-hung to upper floors of east gable, latter having moulded render course beneath. Street sign-plates to front façade, one metal 'Sráid Parnell', other cast-iron 'Parnell Street Benjamin Wright Mayor 1886'. Square-headed uPVC replacement windows, those of western bay apparently originally tripartite, and oriel having hipped lead roof-let. Render shopfront to front elevation comprising panelled pilasters, pseudo-three-centered doorway with metal door and plate glass flanking display windows. Round-headed doorway in east gable with moulded render surround and replacement timber door and plain fanlight, with steps.

This building stands at a landmark site at the east end of the main artery of the town, on the approach from Waterford City and Carrick-on-Suir. Its slate-hung gable, oriel window and simple render shopfront are significant elements. The street signs add historic interest.
