Appraisal
Contributing positively to the modest character of the streetscape, a small-scale house built as one of a group of two related houses (second in group not included in survey) representing an element of the late nineteenth-century domestic architectural heritage of Wexford Town has been reasonably well maintained to present an early aspect with the simple composition attributes surviving in place together with much of the historic or original fabric.
