A house erected as one of a near-identical pair (including 31212062) representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Westport with the architectural value of the composition, one of the 'large and handsome houses [erected] on both sides of the [Westport or Carrowbeg River]' (Lewis 1837 II, 699), suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form centred on a restrained doorcase demonstrating good quality workmanship; and the uniform or near-uniform proportions of the openings on each floor. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with quantities of the original or sympathetically replicated fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby upholding the character or integrity of a house having historic connections with the Clampett family including John Clampett (b. 1837), 'Post Car Owner' (NA 1901).
