What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1780, with attic and with gable-fronted extension to front elevation. Lobby-entry plan. Pitched reed thatched roof with decorative ridge scolloping and having concrete block chimneystack. Painted clay walls. Square-headed window openings with replacement timber and one timber sliding sash two-over-two pane windows, and painted sills. Square-headed door opening with replacement timber door. Wrought-iron pedestrian gate to front of site.
This house is a fine example of the Irish vernacular building tradition. The house has been recently restored and re-thatched using reed. The extension to the front may once have functioned as a shop reflecting the combined retail and domestic use of building which was once common in Ireland but is becoming increasingly rare.

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