Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack, timber eaves course, corbels and cast-iron and uPVC rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed openings having timber casement windows and concrete sills. Square-headed door opening with timber glazed door, overlight and sidelights.

Appraisal
This building has interesting and attractive detailing, which is unusual for a building of its size, while the verandah is evocative of colonial style architecture. Identical to a house outside Bantry, it forms part of a curious pair in West Cork. Beautifully maintained, this building retains its original character and charm.
