Appraisal
This house exhibits a finely crafted and pleasantly proportioned carved timber shopfront, which adds variety to the facade. The retention of the internal columns provides further interest. Prominently sited, this building enlivens the streetscape and makes a positive architectural contribution to Ballydehob.
