Bella Vista is a fine, classically-proportioned house, set within its own landscaped grounds off St. Mary's Road. The house retains much of its original fabric including the fine, elaborate cast-iron ridge cresting and flanking finials. The paired timber sash windows over the entrance way along with the cantilevered oriel windows elevate this structure from others within Edenderry.
