Appraisal
This modest-scale house forms an important element of the vernacular heritage of Askeaton, as indicated by the low massing and steeply thatched roof. The house retains early fabric throughout and, although the windows have been enlarged, they retain their informal rhythm, contributing to the traditional character of the façade.
