A farmhouse identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of County Wexford by such attributes as the elongated lobby entry plan form centred on a characteristic windbreak; the construction in unrefined local materials displaying a battered silhouette with sections of "daub" or mud suggested by an entry in the "House and Building Return" Form of the National Census (NA 1901; NA 1911); the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing; and the high pitched roof originally showing an oat thatch finish: however, a comprehensive renovation programme involving the wholesale substitution of the original fabric has not had a beneficial impact on the external expression or integrity of the composition.
