Appraisal
This house is a modest-scale building that was possibly built as part of a scheme funded by the Rathmore House estate – it is therefore of some social and historic interest. The asymmetrical quality of the front (north-east and east) elevation affords a vernacular quality to the scheme, and this is emphasised by the diminutive proportions of the window openings. The house, which is road fronted and continues the established roofline of the terrace forms a fitting terminating point to the terrace, accommodating the bend in the road through the use of a cranked plan. The house has been extensively renovated, with the loss of most of the original materials - the re-instatement of traditional-style materials might restore a more accurate approximation of the original appearance.
