Attached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1840, having extension to rear (north) elevation and box bay window with sprocketed verandah to front (south) elevation, and flat roofed dormer windows to south and west elevations. Hipped slate roof with oversailing eaves and rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls. Camber-headed window openings with one-over-one timber sliding sash windows. Timber casement windows to dormer and canted bay. Square-headed door opening having half-glazed timber door with overlight set in open porch. Square-headed door opening to rear with pediment and timber battened door set in roughcast rendered boundary wall. Set within its own grounds.
One of a group of diverse houses constructed along the river, orientated to maximize light and views over the River Lee. It retains noteworthy historic fabric including its camber-headed openings, sash windows and later box bay window. The street entrance, set in a blank wall, is a feature that is repeated along Sunday’s Well Road, allowing for privacy to the streetfront and creating a sense of exclusion from the outside world for the residents within.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
