Appraisal
The simple architectural form of this building is enhanced and emphasised by the decorative render and timber detailing. Increased width of one window to the ground floor is indicative of the building's earlier use as a shop or a public house. Notable outbuildings to the rear, which create a pleasing architectural group on the roadside. Occupying a prominent site, this building makes a positive contribution to the small settlement of Clonmult.
