Appraisal
This farmhouse is an excellent example of the Irish vernacular building tradition. The house is simple in design and presents a pleasing appearance through features such as the thatched roof and curved windbreak. The related outbuildings arranged around a yard contribute to the setting of the house, with the low rendered wall being a notable feature separating the yard from the house.
