Appraisal
Archival Appraisal [Replaced 2009]: A house representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Bunclody with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the construction in unrefined local fieldstone with silver-grey granite dressings not only demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also producing a sober two-tone palette; the uniform proportions of the openings on each floor; and the miniature gablet embellishing a high pitched roof showing a small cut slate finish.
