Appraisal
A well-composed, substantial house that is of particular importance as evidence of the continued development of Dunmore East as a seaside village in the mid to late nineteenth century. Features typical of the period of construction, including canted bay windows, contributes positively to the architectural quality of the composition. Very well maintained, the house retains its original form and massing, together with important salient features and materials, which enhance the historic quality of the site.
