Appraisal
Built as a pair with the adjoining house, this house is set on the outskirts of Cahir on the road to Clonmel. Constructed of warm yellow sandstone and yellow brick, it adds colour and textural interest to the townscape. The decorative chimneystack detailing, oculus, and the arched door and window openings are features that suggest the input of a designer.
