This traditional thatched house forms an important part of County Limerick's vernacular heritage, as identified by attributes such as its single-storey massing and steeply pitched roof. Well maintained, the house presents an early aspect and retains an informal quality due in part to the irregular window arrangement. The simple shopfront serves as a reminder of the small-scale commercial activity, which once took place across Ireland.
