Description
Detached three-bay single-storey farmhouse with dormer attic, built c.1820. Hipped corrugated metal sheet roof, rendered mud walls, and timber sash windows.

Mud walled and stone outbuildings to east.
Appraisal
This farmhouse is a well maintained example of the vernacular tradition in Ireland. The modest form and scale of the farmhouse, which retains many interesting features and materials including a corrugated roof and timber sash windows, are typical features of this tradition. The site of the farmhouse is enhanced by the survival of the related outbuildings and the well preserved cobbles to the site.
