Appraisal
A well-proportioned modest-scale house, built as one of a terrace of three (with 22816198 – 9/WD-26-16-198 – 9), which retains most of its original form, but the external expression of which has been considerably undermined by the inappropriate replacement fittings to most of the openings. The survival of the fenestration to the dormer attic, together with some fittings to the door openings enhances the historic quality of the site. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace, forms an appealing feature in the streetscape, and is of additional interest attesting to the development of Tramore as a Victorian seaside resort in the mid to late nineteenth century.
