Appraisal
This thatched house forms an important component of the vernacular built heritage of County Limerick. It retains characteristic, traditional features such as the long, low form, steeply pitched roof and windbreak. The deeply set sash windows are notable features, which enhance the character of the house. Prominently sited, it provides a positive and interesting contribution to the roadscape.
