Morley's, house in County Cork

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Terraced three-bay four-storey former house, built c. 1855, now in use as retail outlet. M-profile pitched tile roof with rendered chimneystack and rendered parapet. Rendered walls with continuous label mouldings over upper floor openings. Timber sash and replacement casement windows to upper floors. Replacement shopfront to ground floor, c. 1985.

The scale of this building makes a notable and positive addition to the streetscape, and forms an imposing group with the adjoining four- and five-storey buildings to the north. The regular façade is enlivened by the decorative render detail, which articulates the levels of the building, and is enhanced by the retention of the timber sash windows.
