Appraisal
A simple town house with a good shopfront, enhanced by the retention of timber sash windows, and contributing to the quality of the streetscape. The separate entrances for the house and the shop are typical of Irish town buildings, and the use of matching decorative elements to both creates a pleasing effect.
