house

Terraced five-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, with shopfront to north end bay and integral carriageway to south end bays. Pitched slate roof with grey clayware ridge tiles, and smooth rendered chimneystacks. Coursed limestone rubble walls. Square-headed window openings with red brick block-and-start surrounds, replacement timber casement windows, and painted sills. Round-headed door opening with red brick surround and panelled timber door. Segmental-headed carriage entrance with red brick voussoirs and recent timber door. Segmental-arch opening to shopfront with red brick voussoirs and replacement timber fittings, with recent rubble limestone stall-risers.

This modest building, incorporating a shopfront and an integral carriage arch, is typical of the traditional streetfront buildings of many small towns in Ireland. The good quality limestone used in its walls, and red brick in the dressings, as well as the varied forms of opening, make the building visually attractive.
