Appraisal
This house is a well-maintained modest-scale building that was possibly built as part of a scheme funded by the Rathmore House estate - it is therefore of some social and historic interest. The asymmetrical quality of the front (north-east) elevation affords a vernacular quality to the scheme, and this is emphasised by the diminutive proportions of the window openings. The house, which is road fronted and forms an attractive feature in the locality, retains much of its original features and materials, including small-pane timber sash fenestration. The attached outbuilding to north-west is also of interest, and includes an oculus window to the gable, which is a feature rare in such a functional structure.
