house

Terraced two-bay three-storey house, built c.1830, slightly advanced from terrace neighbour, and with single-bay two-storey return to rear. Pitched slate roof with red brick chimneystacks with stepped cornice and terracotta pots, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Red brick front wall laid in Flemish bond, and with yellow brick block-and-start quoins and surrounds to openings. Smooth rendered walls to rear 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 terraced house of red brick, forms part of an impressive terrace that 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 brickwork is typical of Monaghan Town and also provides textural and colour contrast.
