Appraisal
A fine example of a well proportioned terraced house, which is situated in a prominent position overlooking Kinsale Harbour. This is the only building within this end of the terrace to have retained much of its original form and fabric including sash windows, stone sills and wrought-iron sill guard. The alternating steps between the individual houses within the terrace enhance the visual appeal of this terrace. It contributes positively to the streetscape.
