What is recorded here
Detached single-storey four-bay direct-entry vernacular house, built c.1870. Pitched corrugated-metal roof with rendered barge copings and cement rendered chimneystack. Lime-washed rubble stone walls with build-up of layers to front elevation. Two-over-two timber sash windows to front elevation, recent timber casements to gables, all with stone sills. Replacement uPVC glazed entrance door. Rubble-stone retaining wall to rear. Recent outbuilding having pitched corrugated-metal roof and cement rendered walls to north-west.
A vernacular house built after the Dowra to Glangevlin road was laid out in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The house is an example of the direct-entry plan type, and may originally have been thatched. It retains its traditional appearance with lime-washed stone walls, blank rear elevation, and historic windows, as well as the traditional setting for vernacular houses close to the roadside.
