Description
Detached three-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1800, having single-storey extension of c.1990 to west end. Pitched scolloped straw-thatched roof, having recent non-functioning regular brick pegs to eaves, and rendered chimneystack. Painted smooth-rendered walls. Square-headed openings with concrete sills and replacement two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and replacement timber battened door. Extension has pitched slate roof and rendered walls. Set on elevated site on An Chruit [Cruit Island] with four single and two-storey outbuildings to west. One outbuilding has part-lean-to, part rounded concrete roof; other is single-storey with loft, doorway to latter reached by steps that overlie two storage openings.
Appraisal
A vernacular house that retains a thatched roof, albeit altered. The house retains its small openings and timber sash windows. The accompanying outbuildings are interesting and add to the setting of the dwelling.
