Appraisal
A pleasant modest-scale house exhibiting fine detailing ranging from moulded rendered accents to decorative terracotta features, all of which enhance the architectural design value of the composition. A finely-executed traditional Irish shopfront of artistic design distinction displaying high quality craftsmanship further enlivens the external expression of the house, particularly at street level, while the retention of most of the historic fabric throughout maintains the vital contribution made to the historic appeal of the streetscape.
