Appraisal
This house is an interesting example of a domestic architectural form which was popular in the early twentieth century in Ireland. The form of the building is enhanced by the colourful materials employed in its construction, such as the red brick, granites and slate. The doorcase enlivens the façade of the house and is an interesting feature of the building. The site is enhanced by the decorative railings and gates to the front, and by the related outbuildings to the site.
