Description
Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c. 1800, having recent L-plan extension to rear. Hipped thatched roof with rendered chimneystack. Extension also thatched. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings having painted sills and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening having timber battened half-door.

Appraisal
This building is an interesting example of Irish vernacular architecture and maintains a strong original character despite recent additions. Notable features include the thatched roof and timber sash windows. The juxtaposition of the painted rendered walls and the thatched roof offers a visually stimulating and interesting textural contrast. The related outbuildings contribute to the setting of the building.
