Appraisal
This house forms part of a terrace that was built to house workers from the Ballymascanlon estate. The chimneystacks are particularly unusual and add interest to the composition. The beautiful ornate Gothic style window and door are particularly attractive surviving features. The terrace as a whole is an impressive design and a local landmark.
