Appraisal
This house forms part of a terrace of houses sharing a tall roofline. It retains much of its form and fabric, including the bipartite timber sliding sash windows and hipped slate roof. The diminishing windows are typical of nineteenth-century architecture in Ireland while the widely-spaced openings are an unusual characteristic. The second entrance adds curiosity of form.
