Appraisal
The three-bay two-storey form of this house with central chimneystacks is common of houses of the middle to upper class in east Limerick. The appearance of this building is enhanced by the retention of early and decorative features such as the timber sash windows and render detailing. The boundary wall and piers enhance the site.
