Appraisal
A house representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Castlebridge with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the feint battered silhouette; and the high pitched roofline. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding much of the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in a rural village setting presently (2007) undergoing extensive "suburban" development. NOTE: Occupied (1901) by Martin Sinnott (1870-1907), 'Publican and Shopkeeper late of Castlebridge County Wexford' (Calendars of Wills and Administrations 1908, 520).
