Square-headed (west) or paired square-headed (east) window openings (gables) with cut-limestone sills, and red brick block-and-start surrounds framing six-over-six timber sash windows.

A cottage-like gate lodge contributing positively to the setting of the Clonbrock estate with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form centred on an expressed porch; and the decorative timber work embellishing a high pitched roof.
