Appraisal
A house erected by the Kilteragh Development Company (formed 1923) representing an integral component of the early twentieth-century domestic built heritage of south County Dublin with the architectural value of the composition, one book-ending outbuildings on the Kilteragh estate (cf. 60230050), suggested by such attributes as the asymmetrical "T"-shaped plan form off-centred on an expressed breakfront; and the high pitched roof showing a two-tone slate finish.
