Liafáil

Detached three-bay single-storey house with dormer attic, built 1932, on a square plan. One of a pair. Pitched red fibre-cement slate roof with pitched (gabled) red fibre-cement slate roofs, terracotta ridge tiles, perforated decorative timber bargeboards to gables, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber eaves boards retaining cast-iron downpipes. Rendered walls. Square-headed central door opening with step threshold, and concealed dressings framing glazed timber door. Square-headed flanking window openings with sills, and timber surrounds framing timber casement windows. Set back from line of street in landscaped grounds with rendered piers to perimeter having gabled capping.

A house erected as one of a pair of houses representing an integral component of the twentieth-century domestic built heritage of Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact near-square plan form centred on a somewhat featureless doorcase; the multipartite bay windows showing restrained Art Deco-esque stained glass; and the decorative timber work embellishing the roofline. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in Saint John's Road.
