Loughlan’s, 154 Boa Island Road, Keenaghan, Belleek, Co. Fermanagh, BT93 3ES

Loughlan's is a single-storey, three-bay thatched house built in the early 19th century (1820–1839), located in the townland of Keenaghan near Belleek, County Fermanagh. The house stands facing south, set back a distance of two fields from the Belleek–Pettigoe road, some two miles from Belleek town, and is approached through a small garden.

The building is constructed as a direct-entry thatched house with plastered and whitened walls. The front elevation features a projecting plinth that terminates in non-alternating quoins, all painted black. The thatch is contained within parapet gables. The eastern gable rises to a chimneystack with a projecting flaunched top and one pot; a similar stack with two pots rises over the position of the kitchen hearth, and a further stack with one pot occurs over the parlour fireplace.

The front door is panelled and glazed in the upper part, flanked to the west by one plastic-framed top-hung window and to the east by two similar windows. The sills retain traditional depths. A matching window is set in the rear wall of the parlour. The gables contain no openings. Despite the insertion of plastic-framed windows, the shape of the early openings remains untouched. The roof structure has been confirmed as remaining in traditional form.

A lean-to shed abutting the east gable is roofed with corrugated asbestos sheeting and accessed by a timber-sheeted door. A short corridor links the house to a single-storey extension rendered to match the main house, with a pitched roof of cement fibre slates and plastic rainwater goods. The extension follows the design suggested by EHS/PHB on 22 February 1991, particularly regarding the link and pitched roof, together with the absence of fascias and bargeboards.

The building appears on the Ordnance Survey map of 1834–1835 in its original configuration. By the revised map of 1859, it had been extended eastwards. The occupant recorded in the 1859 valuation was James Mulherin, with John C. Bloomfield as the immediate lessor and a rateable value of £1–10–0.

The roof has undergone substantial repair and maintenance: the front slope was re-thatched in 1992, the rear slope in 1994 using reed, with the front patched in that year also. Further repairs were carried out in 1999, followed by a complete re-thatch in 2002 undertaken by Billy Kilpatrick. The provision of the extension was discussed in 1993, taking account of advice offered by EHS/PHB in 1991.
