Single-storey gable-fronted porches to sides (north-east, south-west). Pitched slate roofs with uPVC clad eaves course, rendered gable coping, chimneystacks, recent rooflights and uPVC rainwater goods. Rendered walls with stepped buttresses to canted bay. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills throughout, having replacement two-over-two and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows having overlights to ground floor of canted bay. Square-headed door opening to front elevation of porch, having with rendered capped pilaster surround surmounted by frieze and cornice having replacement timber panelled door and limestone stepped approach. Recently inserted square-headed door opening with double-leaf glazed timber doors to front elevation of projecting bay. Located within own grounds set back from roadside.
This fine house has maintained much of its historic character through the retention of key elements including a fine door surround, sash windows and well-proportioned canted bay. This house, along with those of similar deign in the immediate surrounds, contributes positively to the streetscape which overlooks Monkstown harbour.
