house

Semi-detached two-bay two-storey house, built c. 1900, with slightly lower entrance porch to west end wall. Hipped slate roofs, snecked cut sandstone and chimneystacks with yellow brick banding and decorative coping, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Snecked cut sandstone walls. Square-arched window openings to first floor and segmental-arched to ground floor, with cut sandstone voussoirs, limestone sills and replacement uPVC windows. Oculus to west elevation of porch, with timber window. Round-arched entrance door with plinth blocks, cut sandstone voussoirs, timber panelled door and fanlight. Garden to front, with coursed stone boundary walls with capped cut sandstone piers.

Built as a pair with the adjoining house, this house is set on the outskirts of Cahir on the road to Clonmel. Constructed of warm yellow sandstone and yellow brick, it adds colour and textural interest to the townscape. The decorative chimneystack detailing, oculus, and the arched door and window openings are features that suggest the input of a designer.
