Appraisal
This house, with its decorative render detailing and ornate door surround, forms and integral part of the aesthetic makeup of the streetscape. Its location at the north end of the town on Doneraile Road make it an important introduction to the overall architectural character of the town. The house retains much of its original character, accentuated by the retention of timber sliding sash windows and the interesting timber doorway and door.
