Detached U-plan three-bay single-storey over basement house, built c.1820, with outbuildings to north-west. Accessed up long driveway, set within its own grounds. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and stone eaves course. Smooth cast render to walls with rendered quoins. Timber sash windows with painted sills. Segmental-headed doorway accessible up cut stone steps with flanking rendered wall with painted saddle coping stones. Segmental-headed doorway with tooled cut stone and flanking sidelights, timber spoked fanlight. Random coursed stone outbuildings to north-west with segmental-headed openings. Random coursed gate piers with capping stones to site with a splayed random rendered wall with painted coping.

Annaghville is set back from the roadway, accessible up a driveway. This structure is slightly deceptive in nature, with a noteworthy basement floor. This building occupies a large amount of space and is accessible from a fine set of tooled stone steps that rise to a handsome tooled limestone doorcase with flanking six-over-six windows. Its material character is of architectural significance and it contributes to the heritage of the county.
