Appraisal
This house is a fine, substantial building of graceful Classical proportions that, although converted to commercial use to right ground floor, retains much of its original form. The house is an important component of the streetscape, being positioned on a corner site linking Main Street with Dublin Road and Primrose Hill to the south-east, and is an attractive terminating point in the terrace. The house has undergone extensive renovation in the late twentieth century, leading to the loss of much of the original features and fittings, yet replacement materials, such as the timber sash fenestration, have been installed in keeping with the original integrity of the design, while the shopfront is an attractive addition to the front (north-west) elevation.
