This house is an attractive and important component of the streetscape of Ballybricken Green, forming an anchor corner site leading on to Wellington Street. The house is of significance having been purpose-built to accommodate a commercial use to ground floor. Extensively renovated, the house nevertheless retains its original form, fine rendered detailing, an attractive doorcase to the side (south-east) elevation and an original fitting to one window opening, all of which contribute to the character of the composition.
