Appraisal
A picturesque small-scale house built as one of a pair (second in pair not included in survey) producing an ensemble recalling a similar contemporary (c.1850) composition in Henry Street, New Ross (see 15605097) whereby a symmetrical configuration incorporates two separate houses centred on a shared feature, in this instance a quaint bipartite opening. Although the character or integrity of the scheme has been compromised by the renovation works carried out on the complementary portion of the composition, the remainder continues to present an early aspect with most of the historic fabric surviving in place, thereby making a pleasing impression in the streetscape.
