Appraisal
Adds to maritime architecture of area as it, along with its neighbours, originally formed part of coastguard housing and station. Similar in form and design to coastguard housing at Youghal. Retains notable features such as tall chimneystack, timber sash windows and brick dressings, which add interest to façade.
