Appraisal
A well-composed, modest-scale house, built as one of a pair (with 22817006/WD-27-17-06), forming part of a terrace that follows the incline of a hill. Although much of the original form and massing remains intact, the inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings have not enhanced the visual appeal of the composition, and have led to the loss of the distinctive bipartite arrangement. The house, together with the remainder of the houses in the terrace, is prominently positioned on an elevated site overlooking Dunmore Strand, and forms an imposing feature of the townscape.
