Pebbledashed stone walls. Replacement uPVC windows. Timber battened door and half door. Single-bay extension to rear with concrete walls and pitched tiled roof. Yard to front and stone-walled and concrete outbuildings with pitched and lean-to roofs to sides and rear.
A simple, unadorned thatched house at the side of a busy road at the edge of the village of Cloghan. The low chimneystacks and the retention of its thatched roof enhance the character of the building.
