What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey thatched dwelling, built c. 1860. Shallow gabled porch projecting from south (front) elevation. Rye straw thatch roof, diamond-patterned scalloped ridge, painted concrete skews, painted smooth-rendered chimneystacks. Limewashed smooth-rendered walling. Square-headed window openings, painted stone sills, painted one-over-one timber sash windows c. 2000. Square-headed door opening, varnished hardwood vertically-sheeted door c. 2000. Bitmac frontage to road, wooded setting, at crossroads.

This thatched house has pronounced ridge scalloping which, while not a traditional feature, adds something of the thatcher's individuality to the work. Small sash windows and limewashed walls, with Ben Bulben in the background, make this the quintessential Irish cottage.
