Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted roughcast rendered walls to front, and smooth rendered walls to rear and sides. Square-headed openings with painted stone sills and replacement uPVC windows. Round-headed door opening at west end with render surround, raised keystone, replacement uPVC door and fanlight.

Carved limestone spout stone to downpipe at centre of façade.
Appraisal
A handsome house, formerly a pair which makes a strong visual statement in the middle of Kildorrery. The length of the building gives regularity and strength to the streetscape. The well preserved carriage arch with a dated keystone adds elegance to the building and the streetscape.
