Appraisal
A house representing an integral component of the 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 including a Classically-detailed shopfront of artistic interest making a pleasing visual statement in Bridge Street at street level.
