Description
End-of-terrace single-bay two-storey house, built c.1760, with three-bay to ground floor. Currently disused.

Appraisal
The irregular facade of this building is unusual in Castletownshend. Located on the main street it displays a pleasing asymmetry. The retention of the historic features, such as the timber sliding sash windows and substantial chimneystacks, adds to its character and charm.
