Two-bay double-height outbuilding to rear having pitched slate roof with pitched half-dormer window and red brick chimneystack, rendered and roughcast rendered walls, square-headed openings with louvered timber fitting to window, timber battened door with overlight and roller garage door.

One of a pair houses which in common with neighbouring houses to the east and west, occupies an elevated site overlooking the River Lee, maximising picturesque views and light. Although altered, it retains its regular and understated façade. The discrete rear entrance is a feature that is repeated along Sunday’s Well Road, allowing for privacy to the streetfront and creating a sense of exclusion from the outside world for the residents within.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
