What is recorded here

Semi-detached five-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1750, with extension to rear. Fronts directly onto street. Pitched corrugated-iron roof with ruled-and-lined chimneystack. Roughcast render to wall with smooth plinth. Timber sash windows with painted sills. Replacement casement window to south-east. Square-headed door opening with replacement timber panelled door. Rear site bounded by stone wall to south-east with corrugated-iron gate.
Modest in design and small in stature, this house exhibits the simple and functional form of vernacular building in Ireland. Its steeply pitched roof with substantial chimneystack and small window openings all indicate an early date. Probably originally thatched, this house reflects a type of architecture becoming increasingly rare in both urban and rural settings in Ireland.
