Living Island

Terraced two-bay three-storey house, built c.1840, now in commercial use. Pitched slate roof with shared brown brick chimneystacks, terracotta chimney pots to west chimneystack behind rendered parapet wall with painted masonry coping. Rendered walls with channelled render quoin bands. Square-headed window openings with masonry sills and single-pane timber sliding sash windows. Cast-iron balconettes to first floor windows. Recent shopfront to ground floor comprising panelled timber engaged pilasters, on plinth bases, supporting shaped timber consoles and fascia over square-headed glazed door and window openings. Doorway having square-headed single-leaf timber door and overlight to west of shopfront.

This modest yet well composed building retains salient features, such as timber sash windows and cast-iron balconettes, which enhance the character of the building. Channelled render quoins and masonry coping to the parapet wall articulate the façade. The building forms part of the terrace lining the north side of Talbot street, which was laid out in the 1840s following the sale of Tyrone House.
