J. Harris — Ballyduff matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This building is an attractive composition of balanced appearance that is distinguished in the streetscape by the fine rendered detailing, including a fascia with traditional raised lettering, which is of some artistic design distinction. Distinctive features, including the canted oriel windows, serve to enhance the architectural value of the composition further. Despite renovation works in the late twentieth century, the building appears to retain most of its original form and massing, with some important early features and materials surviving intact. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
