This house is a modest-scale building that was possibly built as part of a scheme funded by the Rathmore House estate – it is therefore of some social and historic interest. The asymmetrical quality of the front (north-east) elevation affords a vernacular quality to the scheme, and this is emphasised by the diminutive proportions of the window openings. The house, which is road fronted and continues the established roofline of the terrace, has been extensively renovated, with the loss of many of the original materials – the multi-pane timber sash fenestration to the first floor are the final fragments of the original scheme and are important features that ought to be retained in any future renovation works to the house.
