Appraisal
A picturesque small-scale house, built as one of a terrace of four houses (with 22809121 – 3/WD-21-09-121 – 3) sponsored by the Duke of Devonshire for workers on the Lismore Castle estate. Although some of the original fabric has been replaced with inappropriate modern articles, the basic form and massing of the house remains intact, while the exposed rubble stone construction is a distinguishing characteristic on the streetscape of Chapel Street.
