Beaufort (House) is a fine late nineteenth-/early twentieth-century house of balanced proportions that has been much renovated in the late twentieth century. The house incorporates decorative render work to the front (east) elevation, including moulded surrounds to openings, which is a good example of the high quality craftsmanship in the locality. The house retains very little of its original features and materials, and the re-instatement of timber fenestration might restore a more accurate representation of the original appearance of the house. The house is an attractive feature of the streetscape of Sallins Road leading out of Naas to the north.
