Appraisal
This property is a notable feature on Kilbeggan Road due to the irregular composition of the two houses that abut each other at right angles. Although the houses appear to have been designed separately, they co-exist and function as one building. The timber sash windows of the south building, along with its tooled stone sills, enhance the façade. The main building, though altered, retains its decorative eaves detailing and heavily styled chimneystacks which add visual appeal to this structure, making it a positive contributor to the streetscape.
