What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c. 1860, with windbreak porch to front and single-bay extension to south gable. Pitched flax thatched roof with latticed restraining ropes, timber stays and pegs, chimneystacks to south gable and centre. Limewashed render to rubble stone walls. Square-headed window openings over painted concrete sills, replacement timber windows. Square-headed door opening, replacement timber door. Set in own grounds with three-bay outbuilding to south-west, pitched corrugated-metal roof, limewashed rubble stone walls.

A good example of this vernacular type in fine condition. It represents an important survival preserving a traditional local craft and a building type once much more common in the Irish countryside. Retains much that is of interest including rope and peg thatch which was a feature of Irish thatched houses in exposed locations particularly in the north-west of the country. Contributes character and charm to its rugged and isolated surrounding landscape.
