Appraisal
Though missing some historic fabric, the form and proportions remain intact and are representative of eighteenth century urban domestic architecture. Plan form very similar to that of Eastville on same road (see 20907636), with which it forms an interesting pair. Visible from the road, makes architectural contribution to village of Ballynacorra.
