McArdle

Terraced three-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, with shopfront to south end. Pitched slate roof with brick chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls with lined and ruled detailing. Square-headed window openings with replacement aluminium windows, and concrete sills, with recent wrought-iron railings to ground floor windows. Round-headed doorway to house, with slightly recessed jambs, moulded lintel, moulded architrave to petal fanlight, and recent timber panelled door. Shopfront comprises square-headed doorway flanked by square-headed windows, latter having recent wrought-iron railings, and recent timber panelled door with overlight, and having rendered fascia of c.1940 with painted lettering.

This modest house and shop on Carrickmacross's main street is enhanced by the simple rendered frontage with the petal fanlight of its doorway as a decorative focus. The simply detailed shopfront adds to the visual effectiveness of the building.
