Appraisal
An appealing modest-scale house retaining most of the original form and massing together with a fine traditional Irish shopfront of some artistic design distinction despite the conversion of the ground floor back to residential use. However, the systematic replacement of the fittings to the openings with inappropriate modern articles has not had a positive impact on the external expression of the composition in the streetscape.
