Appraisal
Although the subject of a number of renovation projects over the course of the twentieth century, a modest-scale house built as one of a group of two (second in group not included in survey) retains the simple architectural attributes together with substantial quantities of the early or historic fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby making a positive contribution to the streetscape aesthetic in Slaney Street.
