Appraisal
A modest-scale range forming part of a group of three non-identical houses probably originally having associations with the nearby Thomastown Union Workhouse complex (12317052/KK-28-17-52). Retaining much of the original form and massing, thereby contributing to the integrity of the group, an indiscreet porch together with the inappropriate replacement fittings to the window openings have not had a positive impact on the character of the composition. Positioned on an elevated site the house together with the remainder in the group (12317051, 91/KK-28-17-51, 91) forms an attractive landmark in the townscape.
