What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1825. Flat-roofed extension to west (rear). Reed thatched roof, scalloped ridge and eaves, concrete skews, painted smooth-rendered flat-capped chimneystack. Painted smooth-rendered walling. Square-headed window openings, painted stone sills, painted louvred timber shutters c. 1990, uPVC casement windows. Square-headed door opening, painted vertically-sheeted timber door with integral glazed panel c. 2000. Small garden to east, low painted smooth-rendered boundary wall with segmental coping to main Sligo/Donegal road.

This thatched house, despite a large extension to the rear, retains its basic form and nestles nicely by the roadside. It is a typical example of the vernacular type and represents an important survival preserving a traditional local craft and a building type once much more common in the Irish countryside.
