Appraisal
This house is an attractive example of the vernacular tradition in Ireland. Its original character has been preserved in the retention of features and materials such as a corrugated-iron roof, which has become part of the traditrion, and timber sliding sash windows. Vernacular structures are becoming increasingly rare in both urban and rural areas in Ireland. The slated portion of the house is interesting and indicates an extension to the original house.
