Appraisal
A very well appointed Classically-proportioned house of the middle size making a prominent visual impact rising above a sloping setting with the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing an appealing tiered visual effect in the composition. Having been well maintained, the house presents an early aspect with the simple architectural attributes surviving in place together with most of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior including a traditional Irish shopfront of artistic design interest displaying good quality craftsmanship.
