house

Detached three-bay single-storey house, built c. 1820, abutting two-bay two-storey block to north and single-bay two-storey stone outbuildings to south-east. Pitched corrugated-iron roof, pitched slate roof to north, clay ridge tiles, red brick chimneystack. Random rubble white-washed walling. Square-headed window openings, painted stone sills, painted timber two-over-two sliding sash windows. Flat-roofed porch to east elevation, square-headed door opening, painted timber vertically-sheeted door, painted timber lintels to square-headed openings to south and outbuilding, painted timber vertically-sheeted doors and double doors. Yard enclosed by white-washed random rubble stone wall, access through wrought-iron gate.

This complex of vernacular buildings is situated on the roadway south of the small village of Killanny. The construction methods used are typical of vernacular buildings with white-washed random rubble walling and corrugated-iron roofing where once thatch was found. The small window openings retain their sashes and the whole complex of outbuildings and yarded area add to this attractive grouping which is becoming an increasingly rare site throughout Ireland and contributes to the architectural heritage of the area.
