Appraisal
A pleasant modest-scale house making an unassuming visual impression of almost urban vernacular quality in the streetscape. Although apparently no longer in use, the house has historically been well maintained to present an early aspect with the elementary attributes surviving in place together with much of the historic fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior including the remains of a simple traditional Irish shopfront, thus upholding the positive contribution made to the character of the immediate setting.
