Description
Desmond House is a building that consists of two houses and a shop, which is being converted into three houses. It dates from the early 19th century and is constructed of coursed rubble with a stone slate roof. The building has three storeys and three bays. There are doorways with plain ashlar surrounds on plinths between the first and second bays, and between the second and third bays. The ground-floor bay three features a late 19th-century shop window. The other windows are sash windows with glazing bars, projecting sills, and sill-like lintels, with small six-pane windows on the second floor. The left side has a shaped kneeler and ashlar coping, and there are stacks at the left gable and between the second and third bays. The building was being rehabilitated at the time of the re-survey.
