Coote Terrace is a row of three late Georgian three-bay, two-storey over basement villas in Mountrath, County Laois, the name derived from the Coote family who lived nearby in Ballyfin. They are in diverse condition, this one being well-maintained and with a handsome front garden. Its neighbour, on the other hand, looks in need of serious attention if the house is to survive.
In Georgian Dublin as in Mountrath companies who supply wired connections, TV, alarms and electricity appear to be above or to ignore all planning regulations and stick wires anywhere that is convenient to the installer without any thought to how they look .
Where is the pride? Shame, but we live in a different time, eh?
