Appraisal
This modest farmhouse is notable for its simple, long form, which displays a vernacular aspect due in part to the slightly asymmetric fenestration arrangement. The farmhouse retains its original form as well as features such as the timber sash windows and slate roof, which help to preserve its original appearance. Retaining modest outbuildings to site, the farmhouse makes a positive contribution to the architectural heritage of County Limerick.
