house

Terraced two-bay three-storey house, built c.1830, with single-bay two-storey return to rear. Pitched slate roof with red brick chimneystack with stepped cornice and terracotta pots, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Red brick walling to front, laid in Flemish bond, with yellow brick block-and-start quoins and surrounds to openings. Smooth rendered walls to rear and elevations. Square-headed window openings with replacement uPVC frames, and stone sills. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door and overlight. Outbuildings to rear concealed by random rubble wall with square-headed door openings. House constitutes one of a terrace of eight largely identical houses.

This impressive brick house forms part of a terrace of similar buildings at the edge of Monaghan Town. The terrace constitutes a fine example of the type of housing built beyond the immediate centre of Victorian towns around the turn of the nineteenth century to alleviate the overcrowding of town centres. The use of polychrome brick adds interest to the building and is typical of the town.
