Appraisal
This lobby-entry house is an interesting example of Irish vernacular architecture and maintains a strong original character. The juxtaposition of the painted rendered walls and the thatched roof offers a visually stimulating and interesting textural contrast. The related outbuildings, garden and boundaries contribute to the setting of the building.
