Appraisal
The tall and narrow form of this house is similar to the buildings in the main square of Fermoy, but is unusual in this location, making it a notable feature in its prominent raised site. It retains notable features such as the timber sliding sash windows and slate roof. The façade is enlivened by the render sill course and hood-moulding course. The shopfront adds further interest to the façade.
