house

End-of-Terrace three-bay two-storey house, built c.1835.One of a terrace of three. Pitched natural slate roof with rendered chimneystacks to either end. Ruled-and-line rendered walls with square-headed window openings having cut stone sills and replacement windows. Rendered quoins to east corner. Central round-headed doorcase with raised rendered panels to jambs with rosette detail having moulded lintel and petal fanlight over. Replacement panelled timber door with raised and fielded panels. Road-fronted towards the west end of Moyvore. Associated with adjoining shop (15401702).

A fine small-scale house of balanced late-Georgian proportions, which retains its early character and form. This is quite an unusual structure to find in such a rural context and is of a form and type more regularly encountered in the larger towns and urban settlements. The fine doorcase with a delicate and intricate fanlight is of particular importance and is a rare survivor. The replacement windows detract somewhat from the historic veneer but this elegant structure remains an important element of the architectural heritage of Westmeath and forms and attractive pair with its neighbour to the east (15401702).
