Appraisal
This former coach house is a fine building that has been very well-maintained over the years to present an early form and character. Built of locally-sourced granite, a feature shared in common with further buildings in the historic core of Castledermot, the construction of the building attests to the high quality of stone masonry practised in the locality. Renovated in the late twentieth century, replacement fittings have been installed in keeping with the original integrity of the composition. The former coach house is an attractive feature on the streetscape of Barrack Road, the side (south-west) elevation fronting directly on to the road.
