Appraisal
This well proportioned but modestly designed house is enhanced by the survival of original and early fabric and materials, such as the timber casement windows and timber panelled door. The simple timber pilastered shopfront is a pleasant example and enhances the overall façade. This building, situated in the centre of Cloghan, makes a positive addition to the streetscape.
