Appraisal
A substantial house of individual character making a prominent visual impact in Maudlin Street on account of the informal tiered arrangement of the openings together with presentation of a gable fronting on to the street. Classically-derived dressings further embellish the external expression of the composition. Although apparently long disused substantial quantities of the early fabric survive intact both to the exterior and to the interior, highlighting the importance of the site as a contributing factor to the visual appeal of the street scene.
