Appraisal
An amiable house of modest size originally forming part of a larger composition (remainder of composition not included in survey) built as one of a pair (with 15605072) representing an element of the early nineteenth-century domestic architectural heritage of New Ross. Although the subject of a comprehensive renovation programme in the course of subdividing the site, the house has since been well maintained to present an early aspect with most of the historic fabric surviving in place, both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby making a beneficial contribution to the streetscape character of South Street.
