Appraisal
This lobby entry thatched house is an interesting and well preserved example of Irish vernacular architecture. Its form and structure remain relatively intact despite the later extension. The house's position in relation to the roadway is such that it contributes positively to the character of the surrounding countryside, with the pleasing visual and textural impact of the thatched roof evoking a sense of the areas historic character.
