This building is a rare surviving example of a thatched house built as a pair. It retains notable features such as the steeply pitched thatched roof, which is its dominant feature. It is representative of the vernacular heritage of County Limerick, and displays characteristic features such as its long, low massing and slightly asymmetric façade. Well maintained, the house presents an early aspect and remains an attractive feature in the Kilfinny area.
