House

What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Three-bay single-storey vernacular farmhouse, built c.1800, with outbuildings extending from gable ends. No longer in use. Pitched corrugated-iron roof covering thatch, having one red brick chimneystack to gable end of house. Coursed rubble stone walls, with some lime render, and limewashed. Square-headed window openings, some with red brick reveals, and one-over-one pane and six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows, having stone sills. Square-headed timber battened door to house and to eastern outbuilding. Located facing former road to Monaghan Town, now disused lane.

This house with outbuildings is a very rare surviving example of a relatively intact house with outbuildings extended in line, as was very traditional. Under the corrugated iron are the remains of an earlier thatched roof, illustrating the adoption of new building materials into the vernacular mode. The windbreak and small window openings are characteristic of Irish vernacular houses. The house retains other features typical of vernacular architecture in the positioning of the related farm buildings and outbuildings in one long range. The retention of varied timber sash windows give a good indication of the original fittings.
