house

End-of-terrace three-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, with timber shopfront and extension to rear. Fronts directly onto street. Hipped slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast render wall to ground floor with chamfered stone string course and plinth. Timber sash windows with painted sills. Square-headed door opening with tooled stone surround, panelled door with round-headed overlight and cut stone steps. Timber shopfront with rendered stallriser, display windows and double timber and glazed doors with overlight. Timber pilasters supporting modern fascia board with tooled stone cornice.

This building holds prime position in the town of Edenderry, located at the junction of JKL Street and O'Connell Square. Once solely a residence, this building was later transformed to incorporate a pleasant timber shopfront, now the local health food store. Particular architectural details such as the tooled stone doorcase and timber sash windows add character both to this structure and indeed the overall streetscape.
