house

Semi-detached three-bay two-storey with dormer attic house, built c.1870, having two-storey canted bay to front (south). Recently remodelled single-storey lean-to porch to side (east) with lean-to extension to rear (north). Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack with render coping and corbels, timber clad eaves course and cast-iron rainwater goods. Gabled dormers to front elevation, having timber bargeboards and fish-scale clad gables. Rendered parapet to front (south-east) elevation of porch with corniced coping. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls with rendered plinth throughout, having render sill courses to canted bay. Square-headed window openings with tooled limestone sills throughout, having uPVC casement windows. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door to front elevation, having historic and replacement brass door furniture with tooled limestone stepped approach. Rubble stone enclosing wall to south-east.

Built as a pair with the adjoining house to the west, 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.
