Appraisal
A pleasant, small-scale house that retains most of its original form and massing, together with some important salient features and materials. The house is of particular significance having been sponsored by the Duke of Devonshire as accommodation for workers on the Lismore Castle estate. The house is an appealing feature of Chapel Street, and contributes to the low-lying quality of the streetscape.
