This house, built as one of a terrace of six identical units, is an attractive, modest-scale building that has been well maintained to present an early aspect. Features, including a canted bay window dressed in red brick, enhance the architectural value of the composition. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace (22501778 – 9/WD-5632-21-796 – 7), is an attractive feature of the townscape in the centre of Waterford City, situated on a slightly elevated site overlooking Summer Hill.
