Appraisal
Set back from the street behind a wall, this terrace is located on an elevated position overlooking the River Lee, a characteristic of houses in this area. The formality of the composition is interesting, with the central three-bay house flanked by narrower two-bay houses. The continuous boundary wall, punctuated by pedestrian entrances adds symmetry to the terrace's appearance.
