What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey thatched farmhouse, built c.1800, with lobby-entry plan. Oaten straw roof pitched to north-west end and hipped to south-east with decorative knotting and exposed scolloping to ridge and twine to eaves. Low rendered concrete chimneystack. Pebbledashed walls. Replacement timber windows. Windbreak with thatch of roof projecting over with timber panelled door. Sited at end of long avenue and facing into yard having outbuilding to one side with pitched slate and corrugated-iron roof and rendered stone walls.
This thatched farmhouse is a typical example. Its scale, thatch detailing and windbreak are characteristic of Irish vernacular architecture.
