What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1840. Later lean-to extensions to side (east) and rear (south). Pitched corrugated-iron roof with rendered chimneystack and uPVC rainwater goods. Painted, rendered and exposed limestone walls. Square-headed openings with two-over-two timber sliding sash and fixed pane windows. Square-headed door opening with timber battened door. Rubble limestone wall to front and side (west). Outbuilding to rear.
This house, typical of modest rural vernacular dwellings of both Bere Island and the Beara Peninsula, retains much of its original form and style. The asymmetrical proportions of the house enlivens the facade, which is further enhanced by the retention of the timber sliding sash windows. The corrugated-iron roof is a notable feature. The related outbuildings add to its setting and context.
