Rendered walls with render quoins and plinth course. Square-headed openings to first floor having render mouldings, concrete sills and six-over-six pane timber sliding margin sash windows. Square-headed openings to ground floor with render surrounds, painted stone sills, flanking render pilasters and replacement uPVC windows.

Appraisal
This well composed building retains notable features, such as the decorative render window surrounds and quoins, which add interest to the symmetrical façade. Retention of the timber sash windows and ornate door surround further enhances the structure. The house presents a unified and coherent decorative scheme in the middle of Kilfinnane and as such makes a positive contribution to the townscape.
