Square-headed window openings with brick block-and-start surrounds to first floor windows, limestone lintels above canted bay openings.

Appraisal
A nicely detailed house with some arts-and-crafts style influences. It is not as ambitious as it neighbours to the south but has some interesting decorative elements such as the elaborate doorcase. It retains its original form and most of its early fabric. This house was built by R.V. Smith to designs by the architect W.A. Tanner. It remains an important feature on the Ballymahon road in a very attractive terrace of late nineteenth-century terraced houses of varying appearance.
