Appraisal
The asymmetric form of this house, which remains substantially intact, is a distinguishing feature, which enlivens the planes of the façade. The slate roof and sash windows help conserve its original appearance and enhance its character. The outbuilding to west is of historic significance, as it was once the terminus of Bianconi's Limerick to Clonmel line, which began in 1792.
