Appraisal
This house with its fine timber shopfront enhances Kinnitty's streetscape. Its parapet together with other render detailing creates a façade that is unique in the village, and one that displays skilled craftsmanship. The retention of much original fabric to the timber shopfront increases its architectural significance and presence.
