Painted rendered walls with lined and ruled detailing. Square-headed window openings with replacement aluminium windows, and concrete sills, with recent wrought-iron railings to ground floor windows. Round-headed doorway to house, with slightly recessed jambs, moulded lintel, moulded architrave to petal fanlight, and recent timber panelled door.

Appraisal
This modest house and shop on Carrickmacross's main street is enhanced by the simple rendered frontage with the petal fanlight of its doorway as a decorative focus. The simply detailed shopfront adds to the visual effectiveness of the building.
