Terraced two-bay two-storey dormer attic former house, built c.1820, having integral carriage arch to east end of front (south) elevation.

Render over rubble stone walls. Square-headed window openings with stone sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed carriageway opening with corrugated-iron door. Street fronted.
Appraisal
A reminder of the modest, traditional character which is now sadly lost in many of the buildings in the streetscape. The building would have original served as a residence but was later subsumed into its neighbour to serve as a shop and residence, a mixed use that is becoming increasingly rare in rural Ireland. Retention of historic fabric including sash windows helps to maintain the building's character.
