I would like the unique features of Iveragh Terrace, Waterville Cable Station to be considered.  

The Cable station offices dating from 1899 which is adjacent to Iveragh Terrace is a protected structure (NIAH 21309801 RPS 98-1)

7,8,9 Iveragh Terrace houses are also protected structures (098-001 - A -C)

As demonstrated by the historic 6 adn 25 inch ordnance survey maps, 1-6 Iveragh Terrace were built before both the 1899 Cable Station Offices and the already protected 7,8,9 Iveragh Terrace houses.

1-6 Iveragh Terrace have a different design to the other Waterville Cable Station buildings and are unique in the area.  

1,2,4-6 houses maintain a "cable moulding" over the front door and lower front window which was included in the design of these houses.  This design feature is referenced explicitly in the correspondence dating to 1886 between the Superintendent of Waterville Cable Station and the M.D.  of Commercial cable Company in London. This correspondence is held in the Friends of Waterville Cable Station Archives at the The Story of Waterville Cable Station Exhibition in Tech Amergin.  This archive also contains correspondence outlining the building of these houses over the course of 1886-1887: the first pair of "cottages" (as they are referred to in the correspondence) are recorded as completed on Dec 31st 1886 and by April 16th 1887 the 2nd pair were completed.
