Appraisal
A well-appointed, modest-scale house that retains most of its original form and character, together with important salient features and materials. Subtle rendered dressings, including profiled aprons to some window openings, enhance the architectural design quality of the composition. The house forms an appealing element of the streetscape in the centre of Millstreet. The attendant outbuilding is of particular significance for its original intended use as a creamery, representing a commercial and industrial venture historically practised in the locality.
