Appraisal
A well-composed middle-size house retaining its original form and incorporating a fine rendered shopfront of artistic design distinction. However, the systematic replacement of the original fabric with inappropriate modern materials has not enhanced the visual appeal of the site. The house makes a prominent impact in the streetscape on the approach into Cappoquin from the south.
