Hipped slate roofs (gabled to porch to right ground floor) with red clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods on replacement uPVC eaves, post-1999, with timber eaves to porch to right ground floor. Painted rendered, ruled and lined walls with rendered panelled piers to porch to centre ground floor. Square-headed window openings with stone sills. 3/3 and 6/6 timber sash windows. Some paired round-headed window openings to additional range with stone sills, and 1/1 timber sash windows. Elliptical-headed door opening to porch to centre ground floor with timber doorcase, timber panelled door, sidelights, and fanlight. Square-headed door opening to porch to right ground floor with timber panelled door. Set back from road in own grounds with gravel forecourt, and landscaped grounds to site.

A handsome middle-size house of two distinct architectural periods, which retains most of its original form and fabric. Reasonably well maintained, the house forms an important component of the architectural heritage of Tramore.
