Appraisal
This house is an attractive building that retains most of its original form, and some of its original fabric. The house retains original timber sash fenestration to the half-dormer attic, together with a slate roof having cast-iron rainwater goods. The replacement timber fenestration to ground floor, incorporating horizontal panes, forms an unusual feature in the composition, while the addition of a porch to the centre does not detract considerably from the original integrity of the design. The house is of some social and historic interest, representing a component of the continued development of the historic core of Castledermot in the early twentieth century. The house, which is dressed in a muted Edwardian style, is an important component of the architectural heritage of Castledermot and forms a pleasant feature on the streetscape of Church Lane.
