Appraisal
This appealing house, distinguished by the retention of its original form, constitutes an important element of the vernacular heritage of County Limerick. Retaining characteristic features as identified by the long, low massing, informal arrangement to the openings and thatched roof, the façade presents an early aspect and character. The house forms a pleasing roadside feature.
