Appraisal
A house representing an integral component of the later eighteenth-century domestic built heritage of Westport. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the historic or original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby upholding the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in James' Street.
