What is recorded here

Detached five-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1780, with attic and having windbreak to front. Westmost bay is addition. Reed thatched pitched roof, pitched slate to addition, with red brick and rendered chimneystacks. Whitewashed rendered walls. Square-headed one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with rendered surrounds. Square-headed door opening with timber battened half door. Internal features including decorative rose to sitting room ceiling. Panelled ladder-style stair to loft with timber panelling to loft ceiling. Rendered wall with wrought-iron gate to front of site.

This house is an interesting example of the Irish vernacular building tradition. The house is constructed using available local materials such as thatch. Although extended the interior layout of the house remains with the bedrooms leading directly off the kitchen with loft above. An noteworthy feature is the unusually decorative rose to the sitting room ceiling.
