Appraisal
This imposing eighteenth-century townhouse makes a positive contribution to the streetscape with its simple and symmetrical design. Despite a loss of its original sash windows, the house has a strong presence within the street. Its regular façade is enriched with a slender and elegant doorcase. Another further notable feature is the weather slating with diamond pattern to the eastern elevation. Both attractive and practical, this element is unusual within Edenderry.
