Appraisal
An attractive pair of houses located at the north entrance to Ballydehob and retaining their original fabric and features. The retention of the well executed timber sliding sash windows and carved shopfront add interest to the façade. Prominently sited, the character and form of these buildings contributes positively to the Ballydehob streetscape.
