house

Terraced two-bay four-storey house, c.1840. Extensively renovated, c.1990, with openings remodelled to ground floor to accommodate use as apartments. One of a pair. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods, c.1990, on moulded rendered eaves. Painted rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings (remodelled, c.1990, to ground floor) with cut-stone sills (replacement concrete sill, c.1990, to ground floor). Replacement 3/6 and 6/6 timber sash windows, c.1990, (in bipartite arrangement to ground floor). Round-headed door opening with moulded rendered surround having keystone, and replacement timber panelled door, c.1990, with spoked fanlight. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.

This house, built as one of a pair, is an attractive substantial composition of balanced proportions that, with the exception of a remodelled opening to ground floor, has been very well restored in the late twentieth century to present an early aspect. The house, together with the second in the pair (22500248/WD-5632-16-247), forms an appealing feature in the streetscape of O’Connell Street and is distinguished by an elegant rendered doorcase.
