Appraisal
A pleasant modest-scale house built as one of a pair (with 12318040/KK-29-18-40) retaining most of the original form and massing together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby contributing positively to the character of the streetscape. Fine rendered detailing in the Classical manner including the elementary components of a traditional Irish shopfront of artistic design distinction further enhances the aesthetic value of the site in Lower Main Street.
