Appraisal
A house erected by George Finey (d. 1752) representing an integral component of the early eighteenth-century domestic built heritage of Celbridge with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form centred on a featureless doorcase; the feint battered silhouette; the somewhat disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing compounded by the uniform or near-uniform proportions of the widely spaced openings on each floor; and the high pitched roof (cf. 11805037).
