Description
Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1860, having flat-roofed outbuilding to west gable with garage to east gable, and single-storey flat-roofed extension to rear (north) elevation. Pitched thatched roof having scolloped ridge, and rendered chimneystack. Painted roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings having painted stone sills with replacement timber windows. Square-headed door opening having replacement half-glazed timber battened door. Faces directly onto public road.
Appraisal
The low elevation and chimneystack, thick walls and small openings are typical of the vernacular tradition in Ireland. Once common throughout the countryside and small villages, thatched buildings have become increasingly rare, and the survival of this example, retaining its original form and structure is notable.
