Appraisal
This cottage is an attractive low range that has been remodelled in the late twentieth century, leading to the loss of the original form of the window openings. The remainder of the cottage, however, retains much original fabric, including a timber panelled door and a slate roof. The cottage is of social and historic interest, representing the modest-scale dwellings of the majority of the population of Castledermot in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century. The cottage is an attractive feature on the streetscape of Keenans Lane, contributing to the undulating streetline and roofline of the road.
