A well-appointed middle-size house forming an important element of the continued development of the suburbs of Kilkenny City in the early twentieth century: it is reputed that the house was constructed as a residence for the developer responsible for all of the houses occupying the elevated site off Dublin Road (including 12006022 - 7/KK-4766-10-22 - 7). Exhibiting pleasing attributes particular attention to the combination of a variety of window types contributes significantly to the architectural design value of the composition while the retention of substantial quantities of the historic fabric maintains the character of the site in the streetscape.
