Appraisal
This handsome semi-detached house forms a symmetrical composition with its neighbour to the west. There are many fine details such as the crested ridge tiles, finials, windows and stone dressings which enhance the design. The pair of buildings contribute positively to the streetscape and contribute positively to the architectural heritage of Louth.
