What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey house with half-dormer attic, extant 1840, on a T-shaped plan centred on single-bay single-storey gabled projecting porch. Hipped gabled slate roof; pitched (gabled) slate roof (porch), clay ridge tiles, rendered central chimney stack having concrete capping supporting terracotta pots, and cast-iron rainwater goods on roughcast eaves retaining cast-iron downpipes. Part creeper- or ivy-covered roughcast walls bellcast over rendered plinth. Square-headed central door opening with rendered "bas-relief" surround framing timber panelled door. Square-headed flanking window openings with cut-granite sills, and rendered "bas-relief" surrounds framing two-over-two timber sash windows. Set back from line of road in landscaped grounds with chamfered piers to perimeter having pyramidal capping supporting wrought iron-detailed flat iron gate.
A house representing an integral component of the early nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact symmetrical footprint centred on an expressed porch. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene.
