Appraisal
A well-proportioned modest-scale house that retains some of its original form to the primary (south-west) elevation. Of special interest are the various rendered dressings added to the building in the early twentieth century upon conversion of part of the ground floor to a commercial use. The pubfront in particular is of artistic design distinction. However, inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings, together with unsympathetic additional ranges dating to the late twentieth century, have not had a positive impact on the overall appearance of the composition. Nevertheless, the house remains an important feature in the streetscape on the approach into Clashmore from Clashmore Bridge to the south-east.
