Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair, is an attractive building of graceful proportions that has been renovated and remodelled in the late twentieth century to accommodate use as two separate houses - the remodelling of a window opening to ground floor to facilitate an additional door opening has detracted somewhat from the original balance of the composition, but is a reversible action. The house, together with the second house of the pair immediately to left (south-east; 11803047/KD-05-03-47), forms an attractive feature on the streetscape of Leinster Street.
