What is recorded here

Terraced two- or three-bay two-storey house, extant 1904, on a rectangular plan. Pitched fibre-cement slate roof with concrete ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stack having stepped capping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Roughcast walls bellcast on rendered plinth. Square-headed off-central door opening with concealed dressings framing timber boarded door having overlight. Square-headed window openings with sills, and concealed dressings framing one-over-one timber sash windows. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.
A house representing an integral component of the nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of Gorey with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; and the somewhat disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing compounded by the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression.
