Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair, is an attractive, modest-scale building of vernacular importance, as identified by the small proportions of the openings and the traditional method of construction, especially evident to the rear (south) elevation. The house retains most of its original character, together with important salient features and materials, which include unusual fenestration. The house, together with the second in the pair (22802004/WD-07-02-04), is an important feature of the townscape of Clonea, terminating the vista from over Clonea Bridge to the north.
