Appraisal
A house erected as one of a terrace of seven houses (including 15602034; 15602036) representing an integral component of the early twentieth-century domestic built heritage of Bunclody with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the construction in unrefined local fieldstone offset by red brick dressings; the very slight diminishing in scale of the openings; and the miniature gablets embellishing a high pitched roofline. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original or sympathetically replicated fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house forming part of a self-contained ensemble making a picturesque visual statement in Irish Street.
