Appraisal
This thatched house is one of the few remaining single-storey with dormer attic examples in West Limerick. The façade retains the irregular fenestration rhythm, typical of vernacular buildings. The house retains an early aspect despite additions to the rear. The simple outbuilding is solidly built and enhances the setting of the house.
