Appraisal
This house forms part of a relatively intact terrace, which occupies a prominent site on a main entry road into Mallow. It retains its form and much of its detailing, enlivened by features such as the red brick quoins and surrounds. Its symmetrical façade is enhanced by the retention of early features and materials such as the timber sash windows and cast-iron rainwater goods. The site is enhanced by the boundary walls and pedestrian entrance.
