Appraisal
This building is a representative example of Georgian architecture in Ireland. It retains many original features such as the moulded render architraves and window sill which doubles as a date stone. The fine doorway is an interesting feature that adds artistic interest to the building. The related outbuildings contribute to the setting of the house.
