Ruled-and-lined render to walls with plinth course, quoins and sill course to first floor of facade. Round-headed door opening with block-and-start stone surround, timber battened door and decoartive petal fanlight. Timber sash windows, tripartite to eastern bay, all with stone sills.

Stone outbuildings with corrugated-iron roofs to rear of site. House fronts directly onto Main Street.
Appraisal
Although it is part of a terrace of urban houses, the design of this structure has been elevated from its neighbours through the inclusion of tripartite windows, block-and-start door surround and a petal fanlight. The intact façade boasts six-over-six timber sash windows as well as an attractive shopfront where a combination of render, timber and stone has been employed. This house retains much character, making a positive and attractive addition to the Main Street and indeed to the town of Castlerea.
