Appraisal
The house is part of a group of late nineteenth century housing which sprung up in this area following the arrival of the railway and the establishment of Youghal as a fashionable sea side resort. The decorative foliate plaques add artistic interest to the house, while the paired window arrangement is a motif which is found throughout the group.
