What is recorded here

Marian House in the Liberties Of Carlingford has its name above the door and every window properly paired off. It has the air of a woman who’s arranged the wedding tables and will not have your separation upsetting the symmetry.
Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1920. Rectangular-plan, return to east. Pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, yellow brick corbelled chimneystacks, concrete and slate verge coping, cast-iron gutters. Painted smooth rendered ruled-and-lined walling, smooth rendered raised plinth and quoins. Square-headed window openings, painted stone sills, painted timber one-over-one sliding sash windows, tripartite windows to ground floor. Square-headed door opening, painted timber four-panel door, plain-glazed overlight with house name. Street fronted, alley to west, painted smooth rendered ruled-and-lined rendered wall to yard to east with painted random coursed wall further eastwards.
This simple well-proportioned house is a fine example addition to the streetscape. The symmetry of its design is highlighted by the render detailing. The retention of its sash windows is also notable.
