Appraisal
Set within a long terrace along the main street of Ballineen, this house makes an important contribution to the architectural heritage of the area and to the rhythm of the streetscape. While modest in appearance, the house retains much of its historic character and appeal through the retention of many of its key features, including timber sash windows, a fine slate roof and cast-iron rainwater goods. A tripartite window and raised render plat bands add further interest to the building.
