Square-profile piers with double-leaf wrought-iron gates set to painted rendered boundary walls with render copings.
This thatched house is a fine example of domestic vernacular architecture in North Cork. The irregular façade reflects the interior plan. The site retains its outbuilding, the roof of which is now clad in corrugated-iron which replaced thatch as a vernacular roofing material in the early to mid-twentieth century. The house retains its piers, rendered walls and wrought-iron gates which enhance its setting.
