Appraisal
This terraced house retains its original proportions and form. Though some of its original materials have been replaced, the retention of fine timber sliding sash windows which have no horns (signifying an early date) and the finely tooled stone door surround enclosing a delicate fanlight, enlivens the façade and elevates the building in its architectural importance and emphasises underscores the positive contribution it makes to the built heritage of Ardee.
