Appraisal
This terraced house is enhanced by the retention of much of its original fabric. Though plain, this well-finished shopfront is a type typically found in Irish towns and villages. Its symmetry and simplicity makes it an attractive contribution to the streetscape. Other features of note include the ruled-and-lined exterior render, which mimics uniform ashlar blocks. The exposed sash boxes are an uncommon feature in later nineteenth-century structures and are a reflection of local joinery.
