house

Terraced two-bay three-storey house, extant 1840, on a rectangular plan with remains shopfront to ground floor. Renovated, ----, with openings to ground floor remodelled. One of a pair. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks having stringcourses below stepped capping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves retaining cast-iron downpipes. Remains of shopfront to ground floor. Square-headed window openings (upper floors) with cut-granite sills, and rendered "bas-relief" surrounds framing one-over-one timber sash windows. Interior including (upper floors): carved timber surrounds to door openings framing timber panelled doors with timber panelled reveals or shutters to window openings. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.

A house erected as one of a pair of houses (including 15603195) representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Enniscorthy 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 visual impression. Having been reasonably well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding much of the character or integrity of a house forming part of a self-contained ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in Templeshannon.
