Description
Pair of four-bay single-storey thatched houses, built c.1850, with projecting entrance porches. Pitched thatch roof with a rendered chimneystack. Square-headed window openings have timber sash windows. Square-headed door openings have replacement timber batten doors. Front site is enclosed by a boundary wall with two wrought-iron gates.
Appraisal
These houses are examples of Ireland's vernacular tradition. Unlike so many thatched houses in Ireland, this pair of houses are well maintained and contribute greatly to the streetscape. They display a use of local material and craftsmanship and are interesting reminders of Ireland past.
