Detached four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1790, having windbreak to front (south) elevation and battered walls. Hipped thatched roof with brick chimneystack. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings having timber casement windows. Square-headed opening to windbreak with timber battened door.
This modest-scale house forms an important element of the vernacular heritage of County Limerick, as identified by the long, low massing, battered walls and thatched roof. The house retains early fabric throughout and, although the windows have been enlarged, they retain their irregular, informal rhythm, contributing to the traditional character of the façade.
