Appraisal
This is a well composed modest-scale semi-detached house, located opposite St Joseph's Church. It has been well maintained and is one of eight semi-detached houses by McDonaghs builders from the early twentieth century to house their workers. This house retains its original form and character along with original features such as timber sliding sash windows and an ornate door surround.
