Hipped oaten straw roof with decorative knotting and exposed scolloping to ridge and having low rendered chimneystack. Rendered clay walls. Small openings with steel pivoted windows.

Appraisal
This house presents an unusual appearance though its large thatched porch. The low chimneystack and small window openings are typical of Irish vernacular architecture and the steel pivoted windows are unusual. |
