Appraisal

This farmhouse is an interesting example of the vernacular tradition in Ireland retaining its original scale and form. It retains many interesting features and materials, such as the thatched and corrugated-iron roof and timber sash windows. Vernacular structures are becoming increasingly rare in both urban and rural areas in Ireland.
