The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
A single-storey/ two-bay house set in a terrace on the west side of Shore Rd. It has a gabled slate roof with cement rendered central chimney and cement rendered walls.
There is a small gabled porch at the south end of the east (street) elevation, with side access through a vertical tongue-and-groove boarded door on the left cheek. The windows are boarded up. On the opposite side of the street is a small walled garden with beach access.
Historical information
A building is shown at this site on the 1900 6” OS map but not on the 1859 edition; this indicates a later 19th century date of construction. The terraces further along the street towards the village are depicted on the 1834 map.

1. PRONI – OS 6/3/56/1 (1834 OS map).
2. PRONI – OS 6/3/56/2 (1859 OS map).
