Ringalee

Semi-detached two-bay three-storey house, built c.1820, with lower double-pile single-bay two-storey wing to east elevation. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with tooled limestone sills and replacement two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening comprising timber pilasters, fascia and cornice to half-glazed timber door with spoked overlight and cut limestone step. Outbuilding to rear (north) of site with hipped slate roof and rendered walls and roller garage doors. Set within its own grounds.

A pair of houses, which in common with contemporary houses in this prosperous suburb, was orientated to the south to maximize light and views over the River Lee. It retains noteworthy features including timber sliding sash windows, slate hanging and decorative door surround. The street entrance, set in a blank wall, is a feature that is repeated along Sunday’s Well Road, allowing for privacy to the streetfront and creating a sense of exclusion from the outside world for the residents within.
