Historical Information

This building first appears on the 1919 OS 6” map. As it is not on the 1901 edition, it is therefore of earlier 20th century date. Sources: 1. PRONI- OS6/3/56/3 (1900-1 OS map). 2. PRONI- OS 6/3/56/4 (1919 OS map).

Evaluation

This house, probably dating from c1900 is an attractive architectural composition. Although the render, windows and chimneys are all relatively new work, they have been executed close to the original and are of a very high quality. However insufficient historic fabric remains to justify listing.
