Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack to extension. Painted roughcast rendered walls with smooth render to end elevations.

Appraisal
This thatched house is a fine example of its type, complete with outbuildings. The house has retained its thatched roof and the windbreak provides a functional and decorative focus. The piers are notable for their finely-carved caps with ornate shamrock motifs which are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen.
