Appraisal
An appealing, small-scale house that is of significance having been built by the Duke of Devonshire as accommodation for workers on the Lismore Castle estate, probably originally as part of a larger terrace of identical houses. Well maintained, the house retains its original form and massing, together with most of the original fabric, and contributes significantly to the streetscape value of Chapel Street.
