Appraisal
This charming thatched house retains much of its historic form and character. Sympathetic renovations including casement windows that mimic sash windows complement the historic nature of this pleasing building. The building is an essential part of the streetscape of Ballyagran and is one of only two surviving thatched houses in this village.
