Appraisal
Although of modest appearance, this house is composed of balanced proportions, and is distinguished by features of architectural invention including bipartite window openings. The house is one of a planned group of three units that form part of a terrace following the incline of a hill. Well-maintained, the house retains most of its original form and massing, with important salient features and materials enhancing the historic quality of the site. The house, together with the remainder of the houses in the terrace (including 22817001, 3/WD-27-17-01, 03), is prominently positioned on an elevated site overlooking Dunmore Strand, and forms an imposing feature of the townscape.
