Detached five-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1800, having lean-to outbuilding to side (south-west). Hipped thatched roof with rendered chimneystacks. Lean-to corrugated-iron roof to lean-to outbuilding. Slightly battered, rendered rubble stone and mud walls. Square-headed window openings with render sills and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows to front elevation. Square-headed door opening having rendered step and timber battened door. Various single-storey outbuildings forming farmyard to rear. Located fronting directly onto the main Abbeyfeale to Newcastle West road.
Fronting directly onto the main road, this thatched house is a fine example of an early vernacular house. Originally a smaller building, later extensions were added as they were required. The building has maintained much of its historic character through the retention of key historic features including a striking thatched roof, battered rubble and mud walls and timber sash windows. The building makes a positive contribution to the architectural heritage of the surrounding landscape.

Explorer Tom Saint Catherine's in Knockane has carved timber windows that sing. A hero nobody remembers saved it from a bad vibe. The Sisters of Mercy style is very specific. A proper spot for quiet reflection and sneaking glances.

Explorer Tom Allied Irish Bank in Gortboy would complain to the council that Sophie Peirce flew too low over its roof. She was Ireland’s first female aviator, and this bank thinks she owes them for the wind damage. Hang around l

Explorer Tom Lawson's Cypress in County Limerick would survive a zombie attack by simply standing still and looking unappealing. The undead would get confused about whether it was food or furniture. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
