Appraisal
This thatched farmhouse presents its back to the public road and faces into its farmyard, a somewhat unusual feature within County Offaly's thatched heritage. The retention of a timber battened door is a notable feature of this farmhouse. The associated farmyard provides context and adds interest to this house.
