This house forms an important element of the vernacular heritage of County Limerick, as identified by attributes such as the long, low massing and thatched roof. Despite additions that incorporate an existing outbuilding, the house presents an early aspect with much of the original form intact, including the window arrangements, which retain an informal quality.
