What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey vernacular house, built c.1800, having lean-to addition to rear. Pitched thatched roof with raised scolloped ridge, and rendered chimneystacks to gable ends. Battered roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered skirting and strips to quoins. Square-headed one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with limestone sills, placed assymetrically. Slate roof, rendered walls and replacement windows to addition. Square-headed replacement glazed timber door.
This is a rare example in County Galway of a two-storey thatched house. It has a pronounced batter to the walls, its roof is in good repair and the contrasting render and colour adds decorative affect.
