Appraisal
This house, together with its pair, offers variety of style and form to the architectural heritage of Fermoy. Its façade is enhanced by the retention of features such as the timber porch and balcony. Decorative interest is added by the use of cast-iron railings to the balcony and original cast-iron gate. Its boundary walls add context to the prominent site.
