What is recorded here

Terraced four-bay three-storey former house, built c.1840, with extension to rear and shopfront to ground floor. Possibly originally two separate houses. Now with retail and restaurant use to the ground floor. Fronts directly onto Market Square. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and some cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast render to walls with smooth rendered eaves course. Timber sash windows with patent reveals and stone sills. Timber shopfront comprising central glazed timber doors with overlights, display windows, terminating pilasters, fascia board with carved cornice and terminating carved console brackets.

Following the standard design of terraced houses with ground floor shopfronts, this example attractively structure contributes to the streetscape scheme in Birr's Market Square. The well-maintained roughcast render and bright timber shopfront give the modest structure a pleasant character.
