A house representing an integral component of the nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of the outskirts of Kilkenny with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form centred on a windbreak-like porch; and the high pitched roof showing blue-green slate finish. A prolonged period of unoccupancy notwithstanding, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a farmhouse making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene.
