Appraisal
This modest house is representative of the vernacular tradition in Ireland, complete with associated outbuildings, which add context to the site. The thatched roof is a traditional feature and compliments the original construction. Features such as the irregular fenestration rhythm and timber sash windows and are typical of vernacular houses. Prominently sited, the house forms a handsome feature in the landscape.
