What is recorded here

Detached eight-bay single-storey house, c.1860, currently unoccupied. Roughcast rendered walls with pronounced base batter to road side. Square-headed window openings, boarded up to entrance front, retaining stone sills and timber sash and casement windows to road side. Projecting gabled entrance porch with round-headed doorway. Pitched slate roof with perforated cresting, carved barge boards and single chimney stack. Blocked entrance gate in the boundary wall to east.
A simple domestic building, unusual in its orientation away from the road, and a valuable element of the streetscape on the approach to Leixlip village.
