| Description Detached four-bay single-storey direct entry thatched house, extant 1838[?]. Renovated. Part chicken wire-covered pitched reed or straw thatch roof with exposed stretchers to raised ridge having exposed scallops, rendered dwarf chimney stack having "Cavetto"-detailed stringcourse below capping supporting terracotta pots, and concrete or rendered coping to gables.

Square-headed opposing door openings with concealed dressings framing timber boarded or tongue-and-groove timber panelled half-doors. Set in landscaped grounds. Photography courtesy of Dublin Civic Trust Appraisal A house identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of Glencorrib by such traits as the rectilinear direct entry plan form; the construction in unrefined local fieldstone demonstrating a feint battered silhouette; the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing; and the high pitched roof showing a thatch finish. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
