Appraisal
A pleasant house of modest size built as one of a pair (second in pair not included in survey) forming part of a group of six identical units (with 15605260) representing an element of the interwar domestic architectural heritage of New Ross and the environs. Individual attributes identifying a pleasing architectural design aesthetic redolent of the period of construction include the box bay windows incorporating pretty glazing panels, the expressed entrance, the juxtaposition of muted Classical and Tudor-influenced detailing, and so on. Having been very well maintained, the house remains as one of the last in the group to present an early aspect, thereby upholding the character or integrity of an ensemble making a pleasing impression on an elevated position overlooking the River Barrow.
