What is recorded here

Three-bay single-storey former teacher's or caretaker's house built c.1930, to south of convent and school, having single-storey lean-to extension to east and single-storey pitched-roof extension to west. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack to east gable and metal vent to middle of roof, with cast-iron rainwater goods. Smooth rendered walls with rendered plinth. Square-headed double timber sliding sash one-over-one pane windows and timber battened door with overlight, set into segmental-headed openings with painted decorative render surrounds, and painted sills. Similar windows to lean-to extension, without decorative surrounds.
This small house is enhanced by the double timber sash windows, a recurring theme in Ballyporeen. The use of decorative render surrounds and quoins enhances the appearance of the building. The metal vent is unusual on a domestic structure.
