Appraisal
An appealing, well-composed, small-scale house, built as one of a terrace of five identical units, which is of particular importance in the locality having been sponsored by Lord Waterford (n. d.) as accommodation for his servants during visits to the locality. Relatively well maintained, the house retains its original form and massing, together with a range of important salient features and materials, which enhance the historic quality of the site, while a later range has been discreetly planned so as not to impinge negatively on the appearance of the original portion. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace (22817013, 72/WD-27-17-13, 72), forms an attractive feature in the street scene in the centre of the strand area of Dunmore East.
