Lower three-bay two-storey house at right angles to rear, having square-headed window openings and round-headed centrally-placed doorway. Third two-storey building at right angles again has irregular fenestration and two rendered chimneystacks to front roof slope, and having timber panelled door within rendered surround, and two-over-two pane window to first floor.

Appraisal
This well-known public house stands at the eastern entrance to Chapelizod village. The overall building is complex, comprising three houses of different sizes and forms. The retention of timber sash windows enhances the building.
