house

Attached three-bay two-storey house, extant 1881, on a rectangular plan. Refenestrated, 2006. Pitched fibre-cement slate roof with clay ridge tiles, lichen-spotted coping to gables with red brick Running bond chimney stacks to apexes having stringcourses below capping supporting terracotta pots, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves retaining cast-iron downpipe. Rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed central door opening with concealed dressings framing glazed timber panelled door. Square-headed window openings with sills, and concealed dressings framing replacement two-over-two sash windows. Street fronted on a corner site with concrete footpath to front.

A house representing an integral component of the mid nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of New Ross with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; and the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated tiered visual effect. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original or replicated fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house forming part of a self-contained group alongside an adjoining house (see 15605291) with the resulting ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in Neville Street.
