Appraisal
This house and its outbuildings form an interesting vernacular yard. The house retains its original form and structure. Its façade is enlivened by the render window surrounds and the windbreak which is a typical feature of such buildings in South Tipperary. The survival of many interesting features and materials enhances the significance of this group. These outbuildings, arranged symmetrically around the main house are representative of the vernacular tradition in Ireland.
