Appraisal
This simple design of this vernacular house is embellished by the irregular window arrangement, which reflects the plan of the interior. The attached lean-to adds considerably to the context and interest of the site. The house is an attractive example of a vernacular dwelling, existing largely in its original form and presents a pleasing building on the roadside. The house has been re-roofed recently through a restoration programme with the Irish Landmark Trust.
