Appraisal
Archival Description [Replaced 2018]: A farmhouse identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of County Waterford by such attributes as the compact rectilinear direct entry plan form; the battered silhouette; the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing; and the high pitched roof showing a thatch finish. Furthermore, an adjacent "tin roofed" outbuilding (----) continues to contribute positively to the group and setting values of a self-contained ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene.
