Square-headed opening with replacement uPVC door. Two-bay single-storey outbuilding to north. Pitched corrugated-iron roof. Rubble limestone walls. Square-headed door openings. Rendered walls to site with square-profile rendered piers.
This thatched house is one of the few remaining single-storey with dormer attic examples in West Limerick. The façade retains the irregular fenestration rhythm, typical of vernacular buildings. The house retains an early aspect despite additions to the rear. The simple outbuilding is solidly built and enhances the setting of the house.
