Place & story

The house at the terrace end

The architectural inventory records a three-bay, two-storey house at the end of a Milltown terrace, with a two-storey wing extending to the southwest. Timber sash windows, stone sills and a panelled entrance door with an overlight preserve details of its mid-nineteenth-century design. Ruled render and corner quoins organise the frontage. Behind the house, a yard and rubble-stone outbuildings are reached through gates from the side road, recording the practical spaces beyond the street elevation. [2]
