This house, built as one of a pair, is an attractive small-scale building of diminutive proportions that retains its original form and character, together with important early salient features and materials. The house is distinguished by the attractive shopfront, of traditional Irish design and artistic interest. The house, together with the second in the pair (22501974/WD-5632-21-993), is an important component of the streetscape, and contributes to the historic character of the locality.
