Detached four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1800, having later porch to front (south) and single-bay addition to side (east). Pitched thatched roof with rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls throughout. Square-headed window openings with painted stone sills throughout, having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash and uPVC casement windows. Square-headed door opening with uPVC door to porch. Located within own grounds, having rendered enclosing wall with rendered square-profile piers and gate piers with wrought-iron gate to front of site.
This is an interesting example of Irish vernacular architecture, with a thatched roof and oversized rendered chimneystack. The window arrangement reflects the plan of the interior with the small openings typifying the practical consideration of heat conservation that played such an important role in the design of such buildings.
