Appraisal
This cottage, while disused and in the early stages of dereliction, retains most of its original form and character. The cottage is of social and historic interest, representing the small-scale dwellings of the majority of the population of Kilcullen in the mid nineteenth century. The cottage retains important early salient features, including timber sash fenestration and a slate roof, and, fronting on to the road, the cottage is an attractive feature on the streetscape leading into Kilcullen from the north-east.
