Timber casement windows flanking timber sheeted entrance door. Recent timber boundary fence.
Appraisal
A small two-roomed house on prominent corner site at a T-junction, of a vernacular type once widespread in rural Ireland, but now increasingly rare. It has a simple symmetrical elevation and retains its historic form with small openings and textured roughcast finish. The house makes a strong contribution to the architectural character of the crossroads, and is a reminder of the scale and form of traditional rural housing in the past.
