Description
Detached three-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1860, with attic, now in use as craft shop. Pitched reed-thatched roof with raised scolloped ridge, and rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with replacement concrete sills and square-headed doorway with glazed timber door. Yard and garden to front bounded by rubble limestone wall.
Appraisal
This thatched former house is one of the small number of thatched buildings on Árainn which are still in use. The retention of a thatched roof and of timber sash windows enhances this simple building.
