Appraisal
The well proportioned façade of this house is enhanced by its render detailing, which is skillfully executed. The smooth and pebbledash renders, string course and window and door surrounds enliven and highlight its architectural design. The timber shopfront is also particularly noteworthy, providing an early example of this feature type to the streetscape of Kilcormac.
