house — CAHERMORRIS matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: Once common in the landscape, the traditional thatched house is now becoming increasingly rare. This building retains its simple form and many characteristic features such as the thatched roof and low rendered chimneystack. Bevelled quoin details offer visual interest to the front façade. The boundary wall and outbuildings contribute to the setting of the house. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
