Appraisal

An attractive, small-scale house that retains its original form and massing, together with substantial quantities of the early fabric. The house is of particular significance having been sponsored by the Duke of Devonshire as accommodation for workers on the Lismore Castle estate. The house makes a positive contribution to the streetscape of New Street, and, together with the remainder of the houses in the terrace, conforms to the topography of the site through the use of a stepped roofline.
