Description
Semi-detached two-bay three-storey former house, built 1872, now in use as public house with recent shopfront to ground floor and in use as apartments with two-storey extension to the rear. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystack over party wall and uPVC rainwater goods. Squared-rubble stone walls with dressed quoins to north. Red brick block-and-start surrounds to windows. Square-headed openings with double-glazed top-hung casement windows. Recent timber shopfront to ground floor.
Appraisal
A good example of a late nineteenth-century townhouse that retains its contrasting materials of red brickwork and cut stone. The pair is prominently sited beside the bridge over the Cavan River and makes an important contribution to the historic streetscape.
