House in Grellagh

Detached four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1825. Single-storey flat-roofed extension c. 1990 to north (rear). Reed-thatched roof, raised scalloped ridge, squat painted smooth-rendered chimneystacks with stepped capping. Painted roughcast walling, straight channel-jointed quoins, smooth-rendered projecting plinth. Square-headed window openings, simple moulded render surrounds, painted stone sills, painted two-over-two timber sash windows c. 1990. Square-headed entrance door opening, simple moulded render surround, painted timber panelled and half-glazed door c. 1990. Small garden to south, low rubble stone boundary wall to road, farmyard to north, Donegal Bay further to north.

This neat thatched house has been re-thatched with a non-traditional crested ridge. Sash windows and channelled quoins assist in preserving something of a vernacular feeling.
