Detached three-bay tow-storey house, built c.1830, with return and extensions to rear. Fronting onto the road. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with timber sash windows. Wyatt window to entrance bay. Segmental-headed door opening recessed within splayed surround with double timber panelled doors flanked by engaged fluted columns and sidelights and surmounted by fanlight. Front site bounded by cast-iron railings on plinth wall. Outbuildings to east and south-east with roughcast rendered walls and pitched slate roofs.
Brosna House, situated on the roadside leading to the small village of Brosna, is a fine example of an early nineteenth-century house. Its classical proportions displayed in its symmetrical façade and door openings together with the survival of many original features contribute to the character of the house. The cast-iron spear-headed railings and elegant door surround create an inviting and appealing entrance. The house is a notable feature in the streetscape of Brosna.
