What is recorded here
Detached four-bay two-storey vernacular house, built c. 1800, with flat-roofed concrete windbreak. Lobby-entry plan. Pitched slate roof with red brick chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered plinth and quoin bands. Square-headed window openings with mainly margined one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and some replacement aluminium windows, all having limestone sills. Square-headed doorway with replacement aluminium door. Four-bay single-storey with attic outbuilding to front of site with pitched slate roof and rendered walls having square-headed openings, one with timber battened door.
The simple symmetrical form of this building is typical of farmhouses throughout Ireland. The building retains notable features such as the timber sash windows which are margined, thus enlivening the modest façade. The house along with the outbuilding form a group of related structures serving a working farm and is part of a small farm cluster.
