Why it mattered
house — Cahir matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: The simple form of this building is enhanced by the use of different stone types and dressings in its construction. The yellow brick window surrounds contrast with the sandstone walls to create textural variation in the building's appearance, adding to its visual appeal. This house forms part of a group of cottages along this road, with their associated outbuildings. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
