Why it mattered
E. Butterfield — Ballitore matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This house, built as one of a pair and possibly originally one of a group of four, is of social and historic significance, representing the development of a Quaker settlement in Ballitore in the late eighteenth/early nineteenth centuries. The addition of a timber fascia with decorative panel over is of interest, representing an early commercial activity in the village. Composed on an asymmetrical plan, the house is representative of the unassuming, unrefined architecture of the locality. The house retains many important early or original salient features, including timber sash fenestration, a timber panelled… This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
