Appraisal
An attractive Classically-proportioned substantial house possibly originally built as two separate houses occupying a prominent position in the centre of Inistioge, thereby contributing positively to the visual appeal of the townscape. Despite some alteration projects over the course of the twentieth century the character of the site remains substantially unaffected on account of the survival of most of the original composition qualities together with much of the historic fabric including plasterwork features of artistic design importance to the interior.
