Appraisal
This dwelling is characteristic of the modest vernacular-style house in Ireland, having a thatched roof and being single-storey with a rectangular-plan. It is of a western regional style which includes a gable-end chimneystack. Typically also, despite being on the roadside, the house subtly melts into the local landscape, this being part of its aesthetic appeal.
