Hipped natural slate roof with pair of rendered chimneystacks to ridge, exposed rafter ends, and remains of cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with projecting render plinth.

Segmental-headed recessed entrance, having timber door with panelled sidelights, and fanlight. Set in open field with timber post and wire fence enclosure.
Appraisal
This simply detailed dwelling is an example of early nineteenth-century Irish rural housing. The symmetrical facade and balanced proportions make this a visually attractive house. Though derelict, it has retained its original form and some original fabric, such as the timber sash windows and slate roof, and adds to the architectural heritage of the area.
