Appraisal
This detached house is a prominent feature within a streetscape of terraced houses. Its interesting form is distinguished by the bow bays and unusual entrance porch. Retaining original features such as the steel windows, oculi and glazed entrance door, it is a fine example of Irish pre-war domestic architecture.
