What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1800, with attic, and having single-storey flat-roofed extension to rear. Pitched thatched roof with flush ridge, stone copings to gables, and rendered chimneystack. Limewashed random rubble walls. Square-headed openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows, with painted stone sills. Square-headed glazed timber entrance door. Set back from road with lime-rendered boundary wall with flat stone coping, rendered gate piers and metal gates. Garden to front, farmyard with single-storey outbuildings to rear.

Once common in the landscape, the traditional thatched house is becoming rare. This particularly good and intact example is prominently sited at a crossroads. It has retains its thatched roof, limewashed walls and timber sash windows, as well as the original form and scale, all of which are typical elements used in Irish vernacular architecture and making it a valuable asset to the architectural heritage of the area.
