Terraced breakfront two-bay four-storey over basement former house, built c. 1855, now in use as an office. Stepped render parapet with heavy cornice and rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls having render quoins and rusticated walls to ground floor. Square-headed openings with render surrounds and replacement uPVC windows. Those to first floor having render architrave. Square-headed opening with overlight and timber panelled door. Limestone threshold to entrance. Cast-iron spear-headed railings set in limestone piers to site.
Projecting from the line of the terrace, this building functions as a visual marker which bookends the planned terrace. The render parapet with heavy consoles, a feature shared with the neighbouring houses, unites the terrace and gives it a coherent decorative scheme. The terrace is representative of the development of Cobh in the mid nineteenth century.
