house

Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c. 1800, east end bay projecting slightly. Lobby-entry plan form. Hipped corrugated-iron roof with rendered brick chimneystack. Pitched corrugated-iron roof with carved timber bargeboard to windbreak. Painted smooth rendered walls with render quoins. Painted chanelled render to porch. Square-headed window openings with render cornices, painted stone sills and timber sliding sash two-over-two pane windows. Square-headed door opening with timber battened door. Rubble limestone boundary wall with double-leaf wrought-iron gate to site.

This house is an attractive example of the vernacular tradition in Ireland. Its original character has been preserved in the retention of features and materials such as a corrugated-iron roof and timber sliding sash windows. Vernacular structures are becoming increasingly rare in both urban and rural areas in Ireland.
