A house representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Celbridge with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form centred on a restrained doorcase demonstrating good quality workmanship in a silver-grey limestone; the feint battered silhouette; the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing compounded by the very slight diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a feint graduated visual impression; and the high pitched roof.
