Appraisal
Situated within Carlingford's medieval core, this fine house forms part of a landmark grouping whose height, compared to its neighbours, adds to the variety of the streetscape thus forming an integral part of the street's character. Though now altered at ground floor level, it retains its sash windows to the upper floors with exposed cases adding further interest.
