Appraisal
Striking former house, built as a pair with the building to the south, which displays the mansard roof and dormers, characteristic of some of the imposing terraces in Cobh. It is distinguished by the ornate render detailing, which contributes to the artistic design quality and character of the structure. The shopfront is a particularly attractive later insertion.
