This attractive house, set in its own grounds, dominates this stretch of road, contrasting sharply with the nearby terraces of smaller houses. The variety to the façade, provided by the gabled end bay, recessed doorway and canted-bays, lends the building a character that is unique in the streetscape.

Yes: rated Regional (record 50120187).
Can you visit Blessington?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was Blessington built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1890–1910.
Is Blessington protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
