End-of-terrace three-bay three-storey house, extant 1838, with shopfront to ground floor. Now disused. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles terminating in rendered (east) or cement rendered (west) chimney stacks having concrete capping supporting terracotta or yellow terracotta tapered pots, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves retaining cast-iron downpipe. Rendered, ruled and lined walls with bull nose-detailed rendered panelled quoins to ends. Timber shopfront to ground floor. Square-headed window openings (upper floors) with "Cyma Recta"- or "Cyma Reversa"-detailed sills, and moulded rendered lugged surrounds having bull nose-detailed reveals framing six-over-six (first floor) or three-over-six (top floor) timber sash windows. Interior including (upper floors): carved timber surrounds to door openings framing timber panelled doors with timber panelled shutters to window openings. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.
A house representing an important component of the built heritage of Westport with the architectural value of the composition confirmed by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; and the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression with those openings showing sleek "stucco" refinements. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the historic or original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, including a Classically-detailed shopfront of artistic interest making a pleasing visual statement in High Street at street level.

Explorer Tom Cobbles in Cahernamart has a retirement plan involving becoming a very fancy patio set, if it can just get out from under the cars first. It’s an inconspicuous gem on Mill Street that thinks nobody notices its subtle charm. Take the long way round, it deserves the extra attention and the good photos.

Explorer Tom Post box in Cahernamart started because two lads made a bet in the pub. One said it would be there in a century; the other laughed. It's the kind of thing that actually happens, you know!

Baldcypress1020 yd

Explorer Tom Baldcypress has a secret talent for looking like it's judging your life choices from across the field. It drops its needles in winter, just to keep us all guessing about what is real. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Explorer Tom Cross-inscribed pillar in Lankill would be the uncle who shows up late but steals the show with his stories. It’s tall, thin, and decorated like it went to finishing school for stone. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

Round Tower3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Round Tower in Aghagower claims St Patrick consecrated it, but I think he just dropped his keys here. The name probably means 'Place Where We Forgot Our Lunch'. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
