Appraisal
An appealing, modest-scale house retaining its original form and massing, together with a number of important salient features and materials, which enhance the historic quality of the composition. The later shopfront conforms to a simple design type, and enhances the visual appeal of the overall composition. The house forms an important component of the architectural heritage of Kilmacthomas, and presents a picturesque feature in the streetscape, the gabled dormer attic window adding variety to the roofline.
