house

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1860. Hipped slate roof with terracotta ridge cresting, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered plinth and rendered quoins. Square-headed two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with decorative rendered surround and painted sills. Square-headed doorways to front and east elevations, with decorative rendered surrounds and having replacement timber panelled doors, with sidelights to front doorway. Yard of outbuildings to south, all single-storey except for north-east building, all with pitched slate roofs, roughcast rendered walls. Double-leaf wrought-iron gates to road, to rendered walls with rendered inner and outer piers. Decorative wrought-iron gate between yard and front garden. Square-headed door and window openings, some with timber sash windows, and round-headed doorways to western building. Lawned garden to front of house, with wrought-iron garden gate in rendered boundary wall with piers.

This modest house and yard of simple outbuildings is a rare survival of an intact farmyard. It makes a very pleasant scene along the Cashel to Fethard road. The retention of timber sash windows and wrought-iron gates adds to the significance of the ensemble.
