Square-headed window openings, gauged brick lintels, stone sills, chamfered brick reveals and soffits, painted timber one-over-one sliding sash windows to main elevation, uPVC casement windows to return, timber fixed frame display windows to extension. Round-headed door opening, roll-moulded reveals and head, fluted limestone keystone, painted timber six-panel door, plain-glazed fanlight, tooled limestone steps, cast-iron bootscraper.

This attractive house, set within a terrace of similar buildings, is a fine example of Irish domestic architecture at the turn of the nineteenth century. Retaining many interesting features such as its canted bay window, dormer and cast-iron railings, it also displays finely-crafted embellishments, which compliment its simple design. The survival of sliding sash windows further enhances its significance.
