A house representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Westport with the underlying vernacular basis of the composition, one of the 'great Numbers of thatched Houses and Cabbins [sic] to be built in such Streets where Houses or Cabbins [sic] are to be admitted in' (Faulkner's Dublin Journal 1767), suggested by such traits as the compact rectilinear plan form; and the high pitched roof originally showing a thatch finish.
