This fine example of the Irish vernacular linear house with outbuildings attached to its gable end and ranged around the farmyard with white limewashed walls contrasting with thatch and red corrugated iron roofs all act as a reminder of the type of small farming settlement that once characterised the Irish rural landscape.
