What is recorded here

Detached six-bay single-storey thatched farmhouse with attic, built c.1800, with lobby-entry plan. Pitched oaten straw roof. Rendered concrete and brick chimneystacks. Pebbledashed stone walls. Square-headed timber double casement windows. Timber battened door in two-bay porch and extension with lean-to corrugated asbestos roof. Southernmost bay used as outbuilding. Extensive farmyard of pitched roofed outbuildings with rendered and exposed stone and concrete outbuildings. Rendered boundary wall to road with dressed limestone gate piers having wrought-iron farm gate.

This is the longest thatched farmhouse in County Offaly. Its siting, at right angles to the public road, is a familiar feature of Irish vernacular houses. The retention of a timber battened door and timber casement windows is a notable feature of this farmhouse.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
