house

Terraced two-bay three-storey house with dormer attic, c.1825. Refenestrated, c.1900. Reroofed, c.1950. Renovated with replacement shopfront inserted to ground floor. One of a group of two. Pitched (shared) roof with replacement fibre-cement slate, c.1950, clay ridge tiles, red brick Common (fourth course headers) bond (shared) chimney stack having stepped capping supporting yellow terracotta tapered pots, rooflight, and iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves having iron ties. Rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and replacement two-over-two timber sash windows, c.1900. Replacement tongue-and-groove timber panelled shopfront to ground floor with inscribed pilasters, fixed-pane display window, timber gate on two cut-granite steps leading to glazed timber door having overlight, fascia having fluted consoles, and lined cornice retaining moulded cornice over. Interior with timber panelled shutters to window openings. Street fronted with concrete brick cobbled pedestrianised street to front.

Although the subject of a number of renovation projects over the course of the twentieth century, a modest-scale house built as one of a group of two (second in group not included in survey) retains the simple architectural attributes together with substantial quantities of the early or historic fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby making a positive contribution to the streetscape aesthetic in Slaney Street.
