Appraisal
This house, with its use of a gabled end bay and porch, is typical of Victorian/Tudor Revival domestic architecture in Ireland. Retaining much of its original form and massing despite, additions to the rear, the façade is enhanced by the retention of its decorative timber windows with limestone sills and the rendered stringcourse.
