Appraisal
A house erected as one of a pair (including 60260241) representing an integral component of the nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of Cabinteely with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; and the slight diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house forming part of a self-contained group alongside the adjacent Saint Brigid's Catholic Church (see 60260242) and presbytery (see 60260243) with the resulting ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in an urbanised village street scene.
