Appraisal
A pleasant small-scale house, built as one of a terrace of four houses (including 22809057, 211 - 2/WD-21-09-57, 211 - 2) sponsored by the Duke of Devonshire for workers on the Lismore Castle estate. Although now disused and in the early stages of dereliction, the house retains its original form and massing, together with most of the early fabric, which enhances the historic quality of the composition. The house, together with the remainder in the terrace, forms an attractive feature in the streetscape of New Street.
