Walled garden accessed through square-headed gateway with yellow brick to walls. Wrought-iron railings surmounted on limestone wall between rear garden and walled garden.

Appraisal
Architectural form and detailing are apparent in this house with canted and box bay windows enlivening its front elevation. The red sandstone decorative detailing forms a contrast to the rendered walls with the sandstone sills being a unique feature within Tullamore. Features such as the frieze and tiled floor to porch are of architectural note. The setting of this charming house is completed by the stone outbuildings and walled garden to rear.
