Appraisal
This handsomely-proportioned structure stands out as one of the few detached houses in its immediate vicinity and forms an attractive feature of the descending approach road to Carlingford village. A fine doorway forms a focal point in the east façade, adding to its architectural interest and reflecting the well-balanced proportions that are evident throughout the building.
