Description
Detached four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1825. Single-storey flat-roofed extension c. 1990 to north (rear). Reed-thatched roof, raised scalloped ridge, squat painted smooth-rendered chimneystacks with stepped capping. Painted roughcast walling, straight channel-jointed quoins, smooth-rendered projecting plinth. Square-headed window openings, simple moulded render surrounds, painted stone sills, painted two-over-two timber sash windows c. 1990. Square-headed entrance door opening, simple moulded render surround, painted timber panelled and half-glazed door c. 1990. Small garden to south, low rubble stone boundary wall to road, farmyard to north, Donegal Bay further to north.
Appraisal
This neat thatched house has been re-thatched with a non-traditional crested ridge. Sash windows and channelled quoins assist in preserving something of a vernacular feeling.
