house

Terraced three-bay single-storey house with half-dormer attic, built 1905, on a rectangular plan. Now disused. One of a terrace of seven. Pitched fibre-cement slate roof including gablets to window openings to half-dormer attic with terracotta ridge tiles, decorative timber bargeboards to gablets, and cast-iron rainwater goods on exposed timber rafters retaining cast-iron downpipes. Part repointed coursed rubble stone wall to front (east) elevation on roughcast plinth. Square-headed central door opening with cut-granite threshold, and red brick block-and-start surround framing timber door. Square-headed window openings with cut-granite sills, and red brick block-and-start surrounds (ground floor) or red brick block-and-start surrounds supporting timber lintels (half-dormer attic) framing two-over-two timber sash windows having part exposed sash boxes. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.

A house erected as one of a terrace of seven houses (including 15602035 - 15602036) representing an integral component of the early twentieth-century domestic built heritage of Bunclody with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the construction in unrefined local fieldstone offset by red brick dressings; the very slight diminishing in scale of the openings; and the miniature gablets embellishing a high pitched roofline. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house forming part of a self-contained ensemble making a picturesque visual statement in Irish Street.
