house

Semi-detached four-bay two-storey with dormer attic house, built c.1870, having single- and two-storey canted bays to front (south-east) and recent extensions to rear (north-west). Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks having rendered coping and corbel decorations, uPVC clad eaves and uPVC rainwater goods. Gabled dormers with timber bargeboards to front elevation. Rendered walls with plinth, having render sill courses to canted bays. Square- and round-headed window openings with render sills and uPVC casement windows throughout. Square-headed door opening with chamfered rendered surround, replacement glazed timber door with side panels and overlights, having limestone stepped approach.

Built as a pair with the adjoining house to the east, this pair is part of a group of fine late nineteenth century houses, along with the Terrace and Eastern Villas to the east, which forms an interesting ensemble. Though the window fittings have been replaced, its traditional form remains. The canted bay windows, carved timber dormer detailing and decorative chimneystacks are features which add to its character. Its prominent location overlooking the Owenboy River and enjoying a fine view of Crosshaven to the south, makes it a notable addition in the landscape.
