A Classically-proportioned house of the middle size built by a now-unknown patron ("W.A.S.") probably having connections with the Sparrow family of nearby Blackstoops House representing an integral component of the mid nineteenth-century built heritage of Enniscorthy. Having been well maintained, the house continues to present an early aspect with much of the historic or original fabric surviving in place, both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby making a positive contribution to the character of Weafer Street.
