house

Semi-detached four-bay two-storey house, built c.1870, having gabled bay with two-storey canted bay and recessed end bay with porch addition to front (south-east). Two-storey return and recent additions to rear (north-west). Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks, uPVC clad eaves course and cast-iron and uPVC rainwater goods. Hipped slate roof to canted bay. Rendered walls throughout, having rendered plinth with cast-iron vents, render sill courses to first and second floors of canted bay. Square-headed window openings with stone sills throughout, having replacement one-over-one pane timber and uPVC sliding sash windows. Fixed timber-framed windows to porch. Square-headed door opening with rendered surround to side (south-west) elevation of porch, having pilaster surround and timber panelled door with cast-iron door furniture.

Built as a pair with the adjoining house to the east, this pair is part of a group of fine late nineteenth century houses, along with the Terrace and Western Villas to the west, which forms an interesting ensemble. Though the window fittings have been replaced, its traditional form remains. The canted bay window and carved timber bargeboards are features which add to its character. Its prominent location overlooking the Owenboy River and enjoying a fine view of Crosshaven to the south, makes it a notable addition in the landscape.
