What is recorded here
Terraced two-bay two-storey house, built 1878, having integral carriage arch. Now in use as office and surgery, with timber shopfront to ground floor. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls. Segmental-arch openings to first floor, having paired round-headed timber casement windows, stone sills and cast-iron sill guards. Timber battened double-leaf door to carriage arch. Replacement timber shopfront.
This modest urban building has happily retained its external appearance. The arched first floor openings and carriage way are unusual for Roscrea and add visual interest. The simple timber shopfront, albeit relatively recent, is appropriate. The retention of timber casement windows enhances the façade.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
