Appraisal
An appealing modest-scale house, built as one of a terrace of three units (with 22816188 – 9/WD-26-16-188 – 9) forming part of a larger group of six houses (with 22816035, 190 – 1/WD-26-16-35, 190 – 1). The house is distinguished by features including a box bay window and canopy, which augment the architectural quality of the design. Well maintained, the house is the only example in the terrace to retain its original form, and most of its original fabric. The house, together with the remainder in the group, produces a distinctive effect in the townscape, the rear (north-west) elevations and returns fronting on to Priest’s Road, and the front (south-east) elevations overlooking Tramore Bay.
