What is recorded here

Terraced two-bay three-storey former house, built c.1820, with brick and timber shopfront to front (south) elevation. Pitched slate roof having overhanging dressed stone eaves and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered wall to upper floors, having painted brick to ground floor. Camber-headed window openings with render sills and six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows to upper floors. Shopfront comprising painted brick pilasters and stall riser surmounted by fluted timber consoles and fascia board surmounted by cornice. Square-headed window opening with fixed tripartite timber-framed display window having decorative overlights. Square-headed door opening with glazed timber door having decorative overlight.
A fine former house which is of a similar scale and proportion to many buildings in the town's historic core, and is a characteristic example of the architectural heritage which creates Clonakilty's unique character. The slightly oversailing eaves and camber-headed timber sliding sash windows add to its traditional charm. The original timber sliding sash windows and historic shopfront are among the many surviving feature of interest.
