This long thatched farmhouse has many of the features typical of Irish vernacular architecture, such as clay walls, a thatched roof, small window openings and a windbreak to the front door. The retention of timber sash windows and indeed of pivoted steel windows, enhances the character of the farmhouse. The associated two clay-walled outbuildings add considerably to the architectural interest of the site.
