Appraisal
This building is an interesting and well-preserved example of Irish vernacular architecture. Its form and structure remain relatively intact despite the extensions built post-1840. The house is enhanced by features such as the timber sash windows and the half door. The house's position in relation to the roadway is such that it contributes positively to the character of the surrounding countryside.
