house

Semi-detached two-bay two-storey house, built c. 1900, with slightly lower entrance porch to east 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 east 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 and decorative wrought-iron double-leaf gates.

Built as a pair with the adjoining house, this house on the outskirts of Cahir, on the road leading to Clonmel, is built of warm yellow sandstone and yellow brick. It and its neighbour add colour and textural interest to the streetscape. The quality of the stonework and detailing of the chimneystack, oculus and arched openings, suggest the input of a skilled designer.
