house

Terraced two-bay two-storey house, built c. 1835, with single-storey lean-to extension to rear. Built as part of terrace of five. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods, and having eaves course of exposed limestone to rear and rendered to front. Corrugated-iron roof to extension. Roughcast rendered walls with inlaid coloured glass to first floor and smooth rendered walls to ground floor, having render band frame to first floor. Exposed rubble limestone walls to rear. Square-headed one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with render surrounds and cut limestone sills. Square-headed door opening with render surround, double-leaf timber panelled doors and limestone steps.

This modest early-nineteenth century terraced house has balanced proportions. The terrace was probably erected by Sir Edward Tierney, land agent to the Earl of Egmont, between 1825 and 1849, a period during which most of the village was rebuilt. The house has retained features indicative of nineteenth-century craftsmanship, including inlaid coloured glass, timber sliding sash windows and the decoratively carved timber panelled doors.
