Appraisal
A fine thatched house, which retains much of its historic character and charm. Thatched vernacular houses such as this one were once a common feature in the landscape, though now this house is an incredibly rare survivor in this area of Cork county, south of the city. The attention and care of its owner has ensured that it continues to make a significant contribution to the architectural heritage of both the local area and county.
