Appraisal
A well-proportioned late Georgian house occupying a prominent location on the eastern approach to Chapelizod village, and retaining an early aspect with a high proportion of original fabric. Forming a coherent pair with its neighbour, the house is much enhanced by the survival of original cast-iron railings and ornate arabesque piers. Together they make an important contribution to the eclectic character of Chapelizod forming part of an attractive group of buildings marking the entrance to the village.
