This group of three terraced houses is a fine and attractive example of late nineteenth-/early twentieth-century domestic architecture that has been well-maintained to retain much of the original form and character. The houses are of some social and historic interest, representing an early small-scale residential development in the locality. The houses make a distinctive impression in the rural setting, having been designed in a somewhat suburban style, and are a prominent feature on the side of the road, especially when viewed from the nearby Kilmore Bridge (11900303/KD-03-03). Well-maintained, each house retains some early or original salient features and materials, with the house to right (west) little altered and retaining original fenestration and a slate roof having cast-iron rainwater goods.
