Painted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with stone sills. 6/6 timber sash windows to ground floor with 1/1 timber sash windows to first floor having margins. Square-headed openings to porch with glazed timber panelled door, and fixed-pane timber lights. Round-headed door opening to house with timber panelled door, and overlight.

Appraisal
An attractive, well-proportioned house retaining most of its original form and fabric. The porch, probably replacing an earlier model, is grounded in historic tradition, and complements the appearance of the composition. The house forms an important element of the architectural heritage of Tramore, while the boundary wall, incorporating hoop iron work, enhances the streetscape value.
