Appraisal
One of a pair houses which in common with neighbouring houses to the east and west, occupies an elevated site overlooking the River Lee, maximising picturesque views and light. Although altered, it retains its regular and understated façade. The discrete rear entrance is a feature that is repeated along Sunday’s Well Road, allowing for privacy to the streetfront and creating a sense of exclusion from the outside world for the residents within.
