Appraisal
A well-proportioned and finely-detailed middle-size house, which retains most of its original form and massing, together with some important salient features and materials, both to the exterior and to the interior, which enhance the character of the site. The house forms an important element of the street scene, and contributes to the visual appeal of Bunmahon.
