What is recorded here

Detached five-bay single-storey lobby-entry vernacular house, built c. 1800, with flat-roofed single-storey outbuilding attached to the north. Thatched water reed roof with block ridge, hipped to south and pitched to north, with rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls with windbreak to entrance. Square-headed window openings with timber sliding sash two-over-two pane windows and painted stone sills. Square-headed door opening with replacement timber battened half-door.

The survival of vernacular houses employing traditional methods of roof thatching is increasingly rare in the Irish countryside. This house is an attractive example of such a type, existing largely in its original form.
