Detached three-bay two-storey farmhouse, dated 1886, on a rectangular plan with single-bay two-storey side elevations. Occupied, 1911. Hipped slate roof with lichen-covered clay ridge tiles, paired cement rendered central chimney stacks having concrete capping supporting yellow terracotta tapered pots, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods on slate flagged eaves retaining some cast-iron downpipes. Rendered, ruled and lined walls. Segmental-headed central door opening with limestone flagged threshold, and concealed dressings framing replacement glazed aluminium double doors retaining fanlight. Square-headed window openings with cut-granite sills, and concealed dressings framing two-over-two timber sash windows. Interior including (ground floor): central hall retaining carved timber surrounds to door openings framing timber panelled doors; and carved timber surrounds to door openings to remainder framing timber panelled doors with timber panelled shutters to window openings. Set in landscaped grounds with cut-granite monolithic piers to "cottage garden" supporting wrought iron-detailed flat iron "farm gate".
A farmhouse representing an integral component of the later nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of north County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form centred on a restrained doorcase showing a simple radial fanlight; and the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding the character or integrity of the composition. Furthermore, "tin roofed" outbuildings (extant 1904); and a "cow tail" waterpump (extant 1904), all continue to contribute positively to the group and setting values of a neat self-contained ensemble having historic connections with the Murphy family including Patrick Murphy (d. 1915), 'Farmer late of Cromogue [sic] House Newtownbarry [Bunclody] County Wexford' (Calendars of Wills and Administrations 1915, 464).
