Corrugated-steel walls to pitched roof extension. Square-headed openings with uPVC windows and rendered sills. Square-headed opening to rear having paired one-over-one timber sliding sash windows and painted sill. Square-headed openings to pitched roof extension with timber framed casement windows and timber sills.

Square-headed openings with timber framed casement display windows flanking recessed square-headed door opening with overlight and double-leaf timber glazed doors.
Appraisal
A prominently sited and imposing building with well crafted render and timber detailing. The lettering to the shopfront is a particularly noteworthy and interesting feature. The practice of associating a family name with its commercial premises is a feature which is becoming increasingly rare in the contemporary townscape. The form and character of this building adds significantly to the streetscape of Ballydehob.
