Appraisal
This building is an interesting example of Irish vernacular architecture. It retains notable features, such as the thatched roof and timber sash windows. The juxtaposition of the roughcast rendered walls and the thatched roof offers a visually stimulating and interesting textural contrast. The related outbuildings contribute to the setting of the building.
