Detached three-bay two-storey house, c.1825, possibly originally glebe house. Renovated, c.1975, with single-bay single-storey gabled advanced porch added to centre ground floor. Refenestrated. Hipped slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, and iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Pitched (gable-fronted) artificial slate roof to porch with timber eaves. Painted roughcast walls with rendered quoins to ends. Square-headed window openings (originally in tripartite arrangement to ground floor) with cut-stone sills, and replacement uPVC casement windows. Square-headed door opening with replacement glazed uPVC panelled double doors. Set back from road in own grounds on a slightly elevated site.

A modest-scale house possibly originally intended as an ecclesiastical residence forming an appealing landmark on a prominent site in the outskirts of Kilmanagh. Originally incorporating distinctive fenestration patterns that elevated the architectural design value of the composition the external expression of the house has not benefited from over-zealous renovation works that have led to the replacement of substantial quantities of the early fabric.
