What is recorded here
Farm house on Meath Hill has a tiny window beside the porch, just enough for checking whether a caller has brought cake or trouble. Cake gets the door opened. Trouble gets one eye and no encouragement.
Detached three-bay single-storey farmhouse with dormer attic, built c.1800, with two-bay extension c.1860 to the south-west. Pitched thatched roof with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls, rendered to the extension. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Stone outbuildings to site.
This thatched farmhouse makes a significant and positive contribution to the surrounding landscape. The farmhouse is an interesting example of the vernacular tradition in Ireland, and retains many traditional features and materials. The small window by the porch is a curious and interesting feature of the farmhouse. The related outbuildings to the site enhance the setting of the farmhouse.
