Replacement hipped artificial slate roof on a T-shaped plan centred on flat roof (west), ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks having concrete capping supporting terracotta pots, and uPVC rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Fine roughcast walls. Hipped square-headed central door opening with concealed dressings framing timber panelled door having sidelights below overlight.

Appraisal
A house representing an integral component of the early twentieth-century domestic built heritage of Enniscorthy with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form centred on a restrained doorcase; and the slight diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a feint graduated visual impression.
