house

Detached three-bay single-storey house, built c. 1860, with windbreak porch to front elevation, two-bay extension to north-west gable, single-bay byre to south-east gable, modern two-bay kitchen extension to rear. Round pitched net and rod thatch roof, corrugated roof with concrete gable coping to extension, limewashed chimneystacks to gable ends, replacement rainwater goods to extension. Limewashed render to rubble stone walls. Square-headed window openings, timber three-over-three horned sash windows. Square-headed door opening to porch. Set in own grounds with three and one-bay outbuildings with round pitched thatch and limewashed rubble stone walls.

A good example of this vernacular type. Represents an important survival preserving a traditional local craft and a building type once much more common in the Irish countryside. Retains much that is of interest including round pitched net and rod thatch which was a feature of Irish thatched houses in exposed locations particularly in the north-west of the country, a windbreak porch, sash windows and outbuildings with surviving thatch.
