House in Urney, County Offaly

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c.1800, with lobby-entry plan. Pitched (south end) and Hipped (north end) oaten straw roof with plastic conduit to ridge and twine to eaves. Low rendered chimneystacks. Pebbledashed stone walls. Replacement timber windows and timber panelled door. Building may have been extended southwards as that part is recessed slightly. At roadside with slight forecourt.

This thatched house is sited on a busy road and is thus highly visible. Its scale, small size of openings and the retention of its thatch provide it with much architectural interest.
