Two-storey farm manager's house, 'L'-plan with inner courtyard and single-storey range to north. Corrugated iron-clad barn, with round wood columns, to north of farmyard.

This plain house is typical of mid-size Irish country houses. The farmyard to the north is intact and the large barn, further north, is of special interest because of its structure which adopts round wood support columns.
