Appraisal
This house forms part of a terrace of four similar structures, whose style and intact form make them an unusual and notable feature within Fermoy. The façade is enlivened by features typical of its time, such as the box-bay window and canopied entrance, and enhanced by the retention of the timber sash windows and timber door. The site is given context and enhanced by the boundary wall and pedestrian entrance.
