Appraisal
This building retains notable features, such as the decorative moulded render window surrounds and quoins, which add interest to the symmetrical façade. The shopfront is particularly interesting and well composed, having ornate features such as the scrolled consoles and Doric style pilasters. The private entrance to the house retains its door furniture, which is becoming increasingly rare in Ireland.
