Round-headed door opening with moulded surround, timber pilasters flanking timber panelled door with spoked fanlight, accessed by limestone steps.

Appraisal
This attractive Georgian house on Oxmantown Mall has an ease of architectural symmetry which recommends it as a notable contributor to the streetscape. A tooled stone eaves course, hornless six-over-six timber sash windows and a finely executed doorway highlight this building's positive contribution to the built heritage of Birr.
