House on MORNINGTON, Meath

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Detached five-bay single-storey house, built c.1820, with porch addition. Pitched corrugated-iron roof with brick chimneystack. Rendered walls with a rendered buttress. Concrete boundary walls and outbuilding to site.

The modest house is representative of the vernacular tradition in Ireland. The form and scale of the house is typical in many ways of this tradition. Though the windows have been replaced, the house retains interesting features, such as the corrugated-iron roof and the buttress. The house makes a positive contribution to the streetscape.
