Appraisal
Situated to the roadside, this simple house with its associated outbuildings, is a charming example of a vernacular dwelling. Its modest, proportioned style attests to the technical adeptness of its builders and it has retained much of its original character to remain an integral part of the rural landscape around Termonfeckin.
