What is recorded here

Terraced two-bay two-storey over basement house, c.1800. One of a pair. Pitched (shared) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Unpainted roughcast walls. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and six-over-six timber sash windows. Round-headed door opening in shared elliptical-headed recess with two cut-limestone steps, and timber panelled door having fanlight. Interior with timber panelled shutters to window openings. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.
An appealing modest-scale house built as one of a pair (with 12000112/KK-4766-09-112) identified in the streetscape on account of a shared entrance bay reminiscent of a similar treatment in Wellington Square (12000100 - 1, 3 - 4, 6 - 7/KK-4766-09-100 - 1, 3 - 4, 6 - 7) representing a pared-down or simplified version of a further characteristic somewhat particular to Kilkenny City (see also 12000090 - 1, 151 - 2/KK-4766-09-90 - 1, 151 -2). Having been well maintained the house presents an early aspect with most of the historic fabric intact both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby enhancing the visual appeal of the street scene in Chapel Lane
