Appraisal
A well-proportioned middle-size house retaining most of its original form and massing, together with substantial quantities of the early fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior. Subsequently converted to use as a Garda Síochána Station, the resulting frontage to ground floor is of some artistic design merit, and contributes significantly to the visual appeal of the composition at street level.
