Appraisal
This Regency-style house is large in scale with symmetrical and widely-distributed openings, making it an imposing feature in an area of the town composed mainly of terraces. It also provides a counterpoint to Anne Street to its west and the Church of Ireland church to its east. The façade is enhanced by the retention of timber sliding sash windows and the moulded eaves course.
