Description
Detached four-bay single-storey with dormer attic vernacular house, built c. 1800. Hipped thatched roof with rendered chimneystack. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings having replacement one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, with one narrower window to south-west.

Appraisal
This vernacular house retains its strong original character and exemplifies the Irish vernacular building tradition. The juxtaposition of painted rendered walls and thatched roof offers a visually stimulating textural contrast. The house also presents interesting features such as the windbreak and timber sliding sash windows, which all contribute to its character.
