Appraisal
This house is an attractive example of the vernacular tradition in Ireland. Its early character has been preserved in the retention of features and materials specific to modest dwellings of this type such as a steeply pitched corrugated-iron roof, small asymmetrically placed openings, timber sliding sash windows and a timber battened half-door. Additionally interesting on the site are the attractive vernacular gates posts remaining to the south of the house.
