Appraisal
This house is a fine, substantial building that retains most of its original character. The house is of social and historic interest, representing the development of the historic core of Ballymore Eustace in the early nineteenth century. Built on a symmetrical plan, centred about a round-headed door opening, the front (north) elevation is composed of graceful proportions. The house, which has been relatively well maintained, retains most of its original features and materials, including timber sash fenestration having panes of varying size, and a slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods. The attached outbuilding to north-west is also of considerable interest and its sprawling or elongated nature contributes to the prominence of the self-contained group on the streetscape. The outbuilding retains early doors to the integral carriageway, with important early iron work to the hinges, and so on. The house and outbuilding are an attractive feature flanking the road leading into the village from the west.
