Appraisal
An appealing and well-proportioned house, of early nineteenth-century appearance, which retains its early form, character and fabric. The fanlight with Gothic-style intersecting tracery is an interesting survival that helps to give this building a distinctive character. This building is characteristic of its time and date and it continues to make a strong positive contribution to the streetscape of Killucan.
