Appraisal
This house forms one of a group of structures built to the design of William Clifford Smith. Clifford Smith was a prominent architect of the Arts and Crafts movement. These cottages are designed in a similar style to the earlier nineteenth-century estate cottages of Adare Manor. The overhanging roof and timber supports are picturesque features which indicate the influence of the earlier structures. The building is notable for the retention of timber casement windows and the timber door. It is prominently sited along one of the main routes into the town.
