Appraisal
One of a pair of houses, the well-proportioned façade of this red brick structure is an integral part of the streetscape of Kilsaran. The porch with its timber bargeboards and terracotta roof, centrally located, enhances the façade making an attractive example of modest nineteenth-century housing.
