house — COMMON (GLENGASH) matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This house is a typical example of the region's vernacular architecture. It retains original small window openings with timber sash windows. The painting scheme is attractive and traditional, with strong colour to the openings and door, contrasting with the white of the walls. The survival of its roped thatch roof is perhaps the most significant part of its character, as is the evidence for the earlier method of securing the thatch. The setting is pleasant. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
