Description
Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular direct-entry house, built c.1800, with flat-roof projecting porch to front and three-bay single-storey addition to northeast.

Appraisal
This modest house is an interesting addition to the rural landscape due to its small size and more particularly its thatched roof. Though some original features and materials have been replaced, this thatched house is representative of the vernacular tradition in Ireland.
