Appraisal
An appealing small-scale house, built as one of a terrace of ten identical houses (with 22809127 - 129, 131, 181/WD-21-09-127 - 129, 131, 181) probably with associations to the Lismore Castle estate. Despite renovation works in the late twentieth century, the basic form and massing of the house remains discernible, while some early features and materials emphasise the historic character of the site. The house, together with the remainder in the terrace, forms a picturesque feature of uniform, low-lying quality in the streetscape of Church Lane.
