house

End-of-terrace two-bay two-storey house with dormer attic, c.1910, with single-bay single-storey box bay window to right ground floor having shared canopy over extending over entire ground floor, and single-bay two-storey lower return to north-west. Extensively renovated, c.1985, with dormer attic added. Refenestrated, pre-1999. One of a terrace of three forming part of a group of six. Pitched (shared) slate roof (hipped to canopy; hipped to return) with clay ridge tiles, yellow brick Running bond chimney stacks, rendered coping, replacement square rooflight, c.1985, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber eaves. Unpainted replacement cement rendered walls, c.1985. Square-headed window openings with stone sills. Replacement uPVC casement windows, pre-1999. Square-headed door opening under canopy with timber panelled door, sidelights on timber panels, and overlight. Set back from line of road in own grounds with front (south-east) elevation fronting away from road having landscaped grounds to front, and rear (north-west) elevation fronting on to road having roughcast boundary wall to perimeter of site.

An appealing modest-scale house, built as one of a terrace of three units (with 22816035, 190/WD-26-16-35, 190) forming part of a larger group of six houses (with 22816034, 188 – 9/WD-26-16-34, 188 – 9). The house is distinguished by features including a box bay window and canopy, which augment the architectural quality of the design. However, the inappropriate replacement fittings to the window openings have not enhanced the visual appeal of the composition. The house, together with the remainder in the group, produces a distinctive effect in the townscape, the rear (north-west) elevations and returns fronting on to Priest’s Road, and the front (south-east) elevations overlooking Tramore Bay.
