An attractive, modest-scale house, the irregular appearance of which is the result of systematic renovation works over the course of the late twentieth century, which have also involved the replacement of most of the original fabric. The house remains a picturesque component of the streetscape, the scale and massing, together with the low roofline, integrating with the modest quality of the built stock of Annestown.
