Appraisal
An attractive modest-scale house retaining most of the original form and massing together with much of the historic fabric, thereby contributing significantly to the character of the streetscape. Although now disused the survival of a traditional Irish shopfront displaying good quality traditional craftsmanship significantly enhances the visual appeal of the street scene at street level.
