Why it mattered
Able Manor — Dundrum matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: Set back from the road on a landscaped, slightly-elevated site, this attractive building retains many original details such as decorative timber bargeboards, timber finial, clustered chimneystacks and decorative clay chimney pots. Despite alterations and refenestration, the original character of the building remains intact. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
