Appraisal
Situated to the north of Carrick-on-Shannon, this detached house is an early example of social housing in Leitrim, built to a standard form. It has retained its original features including timber sash windows, roughcast render and roof slates. These intact elements are of interest as many such features are often lost due to unsympathetic redevelopment.
