house

Attached three-bay two-storey house, extant 1881, on a rectangular plan. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods on rendered eaves with cast-iron rainwater goods to rear (east) elevation retaining cast-iron downpipe. Rendered wall (ground floor) on rendered plinth with rendered "bas-relief" strips to ends; rendered surface finish (first floor). Square-headed central door opening with rendered "bas-relief" surround framing glazed timber panelled door. Square-headed window openings with sills, and rendered "bas-relief" surrounds framing one-over-one timber sash windows. Interior including (ground floor): vestibule retaining timber boarded walls; square-headed door opening into hall with glazed timber panelled door; and timber surrounds to door openings to remainder framing timber panelled doors with timber boarded reveals to window openings. 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 fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house forming part of a self-contained group alongside an adjoining house (see 15605210) with the resulting ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in Neville Street.
