Description
Detached six-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c. 1800. Hipped thatched roof with rendered chimneystack. Painted rubble stone walls. Square-headed window openings with replacement casement windows. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door. Square-profile painted rubble stone piers to east, with caps and double-leaf cast-iron gates.
Appraisal
This single-storey house is typical in size and form of the vernacular tradition. The window arrangement may appear casual and indiscriminate, but is simply a response to the plan of the interior. The house forms an interesting and pleasing roadside feature. Thatched houses such as this are becoming increasingly rare in Cork.
