What is recorded here

Detached four-bay vernacular house, built c.1880, being single-storey to three northern bays and two-storey to south. Pitched slate roof with smooth-rendered chimneystacks. White-painted cement-rendered walls. Square-headed two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with convex horns to front and northeast gable, and concrete sills; two of four openings to rear have replacement timber casements. Square-headed timber battened door with paned overlight. Timber tongued-and-grooved ceiling to main room. House occupies elevated site surrounded by trees. Flat-roofed shed abutting southwest gable.

This house is a good example of the vernacular architecture of the region. The partial raising of the building to two storeys is particularly typical of Dún na nGall [County Donegal]. The retention of timber sash windows and battened door enhances this building, which stands in an attractive rural setting.
