Detached two-bay two-storey house with gabled projecting bays to east, built c. 1885, and having single-storey extension to south. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and carved timber bargeboards. Rendered walls having string course between floors and block-and-start surrounds to openings. Paired timber sliding sash windows to first floor. Triple timber casement windows to ground floor. Red brick gate piers to site.
The house is representative of the villa style architecture employed in the latter part of the nineteenth century in Cobh's western suburbs. The projecting bays, carved timber bargeboards and paired and triple windows are characteristic architectural features.
