Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills, cut-limestone surrounds having chamfered reveals, and two-over-two timber sash windows.

Appraisal
A pleasant small-scale house of modest appearance distinguished in the streetscape on account of the construction in locally-sourced County Kilkenny limestone displaying particularly fine masonry. The retention of the original composition qualities together with substantial quantities of the original fabric ensures that the house presents an early aspect, thereby enhancing the visual appeal of the street scene.
