Appraisal
This miller's house is an interesting example of the vernacular tradition in Ireland. The house retains many traditional features and materials, such as the timber sash windows and lime washed stone walls. The first floor fenestration is of particular interest, with the small openings contrasting with the enlarged ground floor openings. The related outbuildings in the site enhance and contribute to the setting of the house.
