What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c. 1800, having flat-roofed windbreak and with lean-to sheds to rear and to south-east gable. Pitched corrugated-iron roof with concrete copings, low brick end and centre chimneystacks and replacement uPVC rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with painted stone sills and timber sliding sash four-over-two, one-over-one and two-over-one pane windows. Diminutive window to rear wall with timber casement window. Square-headed door opening with timber battened door and rendered threshold.
This house is an attractive example of the vernacular tradition in Ireland. Its original character has been preserved in the retention of features and materials such as a corrugated-iron roof and timber sliding sash windows. Vernacular structures are becoming increasingly rare in both urban and rural areas in Ireland.
