Appraisal
The symmetrical elevation enhanced by the central porch and paired chimneystacks is typical of middle-sized houses in the Irish countryside. The red brick chimneystacks mark it out as a later version of the type. Visible from the road, it adds interest to the roadscape. Enhanced by the retention of its slate roofs and contextualised by the outbuildings to the yard to the rear.
