Lisheen

Semi-detached two-bay two-storey house, built 1917, with box bay window to left ground floor, and single-bay two-storey advanced bay to side (south-east) elevation. One of a pair. Hipped (shared) slate roof (pitched to advanced bay) with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, zinc-lined coping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber eaves. Unpainted rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings (including to box bay window in tripartite arrangement having moulded cornice, and zinc-lined blocking course) with concrete sills, and one-over-one timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door having overlight. Set back from road in own grounds with hedge boundary to site having rendered piers, and timber gate.

A pleasantly-composed modest-scale house built as one of a pair (with 12006023/KK-4766-10-23) representing an element of the continued development of the suburbs of Kilkenny City in the early twentieth century. Having been well maintained retaining the original composition attributes together with most of the historic fabric the house makes a positive impression on the character of the locality.
