Description
Detached three-bay single-storey farmhouse, built c.1700, with single-bay addition to west. Located perpendicular to the road within a farm yard with outbuildings to east and south.

Square-headed door opening with timber battened door. Site enclosed behind rendered walls and piers and a wrought-iron pedestrian gate.
Appraisal
Situated perpendicular to the road, this small farmhouse, its outbuildings enclosing a yard, is a good example of a vernacular homestead once commonly found throughout Ireland. It is probable that the farmhouse was originally thatched as corrugated-iron sheeting was a common substitute for thatch. The original timber sash windows survive on the farmhouse.
