Detached five-bay two-storey house, built c.1900, with return to rear and full-height canted-bay and box-bay to front. Set within own grounds. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Ruled-and-lined render to walls with rendered eaves and plinth courses and carved red sandstone string course and frieze and terracotta panels. Timber casement windows with tooled red sandstone sills. Round-arched opening to recessed porch with tiled hoodmoulding and fluted keystone, timber panelled door flanked by sidelights. Tooled limestone steps to porch with plinth walls. Snecked limestone outbuildings to rear with hipped and pitched roofs. Yellow brick to openings. Cast-iron weather vane to roof. Walled garden accessed through square-headed gateway with yellow brick to walls. Wrought-iron railings surmounted on limestone wall between rear garden and walled garden. Rendered gate piers to rear yard with ball finials and timber battened gates. Rendered sweeping walls and piers to entrance with cast-iron gates.
Architectural form and detailing are apparent in this house with canted and box bay windows enlivening its front elevation. The red sandstone decorative detailing forms a contrast to the rendered walls with the sandstone sills being a unique feature within Tullamore. Features such as the frieze and tiled floor to porch are of architectural note. The setting of this charming house is completed by the stone outbuildings and walled garden to rear.
