What is recorded here

End-of-terrace single- or two-bay two-storey house, extant 1903, on a rectangular plan. One of a terrace of four. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks having stepped capping supporting yellow terracotta tapered pots, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves retaining cast-iron octagonal or ogee hopper and downpipe. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings (north) with sills, and concealed dressings framing two-over-two timber sash windows. Segmental-headed door opening (south) with concealed dressings framing timber panelled door having overlight. Set back from line of road with wrought iron railings to perimeter.
A house erected as one of a terrace of four houses (including 15607050) representing an integral component of the nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form; the slight diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression; and the high pitched roofline. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house forming part of a self-contained ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in Spa Well Road.
