Appraisal
A pleasant small-scale house sponsored by the Duke of Devonshire for workers on the Lismore Castle estate. Well maintained, the house retains the original form and massing, together with important salient features and materials, which enhance the historic quality of the composition. The house remains an attractive feature in the streetscape of New Street.
