Appraisal
Built as part of a pair of houses, this building is an integral component of the Courtmacsherry streetscape. Though much of its historic fabric has been replaced, this pair adds significantly to the village's character and charm. The associated garden set across the street, which is a delightful feature of Courtmacsherry, adds to its setting and context.
