End-of-terrace six-bay three-storey house, built c.1800, with return and extensions to rear. Fronts directly onto street. Pitched tiled roof with terracotta ridge tiles and rendered chimneystacks. Smooth rendered plinth course with roughcast render to walls. Replacement uPVC windows to ground and first floor with replacement timber windows to second floor, all with stone sills. Recessed entrance with round-headed door opening and timber spider web fanlight with timber panelled door.
This well proportioned and impressive building pojects a positive aspect to the streetscape of Portarlington. The plain façade is enlivened by the decorative recessed doorway with finally carved fanlight with original glass. The regular treatment of the fenestration creates symmetry and order to the exterior.
