What is recorded here
Detached three-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1860, formerly abutted by house to north. Fronting directly onto street. Pitched corrugated-iron roof with rendered chimneystacks. Smooth rendered plinth, pebbledashed walls and timber eaves course. Timber sash windows with painted sills. Square-headed door opening with replacement glazed timber door.
The corrugated roof and evidence of terracing on the side elevations suggests that this was formerly a thatched house. This type of vernacular house is becoming increasingly rare in an urban setting such as Birr.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
