What is recorded here

Group of four detached three-bay single-storey roughcast houses, built c.1940. Central recessed porches with curved concrete canopies, flanked by bow windows. Hipped tile roofs and rendered chimneystacks. Cement rendered piers and plinths with cast-iron railings and gates to front.
This group of mid-twentieth-century houses are representative of domestic architecture in Ireland of that time. They retain many original features, including the concrete canopies, steel bow windows, and cast-iron gates and railings. Together they form an interesting group.
