Why it mattered
house — BURGERY matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A pleasant small-scale cottage that forms an important element of the vernacular heritage of County Waterford, as identified by the informal arrangement to the openings, the slight batter to the walls, and the thatched roof. However, extensive renovation works in the late twentieth century have eroded much of the historic character of the composition. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
