Appraisal
This vernacular two-storey farmhouse is located on a quite country road outside the village of Clara. The modest structure with its projecting entrance porch is simple in its overall design. Lacking in symmetry, its pleasing form remains unadorned by decorative detail and the modesty of the structure heightens the building's appeal. The central entrance porch with its flush timber door and timber sash windows is typical of vernacular Irish homes. As a result this building makes a positive contribution to the country landscape.
