Detached four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c.1800, with lobby-entry plan. Pitched oaten straw roof with decorative knotting and exposed scolloping to ridge and twine to eaves. Low rendered chimneystack. Rendered stone walls. Former outbuilding with stone walls and pitched slate roof incorporated into house to form L-plan. Large extension to full length of rear of house with flat corrugated-iron roof. Timber sash windows. Windbreak with gabled thatched canopy with timber panelled and glazed door. Garden to front with rendered wall and piers and wrought-iron gates to road boundary. Outbuildings to site with pitched slate roofs and rendered walls.
This well-kept thatched house is prominently sited on the Tullamore-Daingean road. Its gabled windbreak is distinctive, the incorporation of a former outbuilding is relatively unusual. The retention of its thatched roof and of timber sash windows contribute greatly to the character of the house.

The BeechesHouse · 267 yd

Explorer Tom The Beeches in Cappancur thinks the road leading to it is a bit of a letdown. It’s got mosaic tiles that are way too fancy for a Tuesday afternoon. Best visited with a pastry, because it looks like it expects one.

25th LockLock · 649 yd

Explorer Tom The 25th Lock is bringing a bottle of wine to any party because it’s got class. It was restored recently so it’s feeling fresh and full of itself. A proper spot for a flask break while you watch the water do all the hard work.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kilbride is locked in a feud with the view over who gets to be photographed first. St Brigid’s well is right there too, so you can drink history and argue about aesthetics simultaneously without breaking a sweat. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

Explorer Tom St. Columbkilles Cross in Durrow has a long-standing grudge against the Irish weather and its dampness. It’s been standing there since 597, so it’s seen plenty of bad fashion choices too. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
