Two-bay two-storey house to east, pitched slate roof, rendered chimneystacks, cast-iron gutters; painted smooth rendered walling; square-headed window openings, painted stone sills, metal casement windows, painted timber external shutters; square-headed door openings, painted timber vertically-sheeted doors. House situated within own grounds, random rubble boundary wall to north-east, accessed to north through painted tooled stone gate piers, fluted frieze, carved capping stones, wrought- and cast-iron gates and fan-railings.
This eighteenth-century house has retained its original form and many original features which enliven and enhance the structure. The retention of the timber sliding sash windows with exposed sash boxes are worthy of particular note as is the main entrance door with attractive sidelights. The later additions to the house, an example being the cast-iron stairs to the west elevation, add an architectural diversity to the structure and the small house within the grounds is also important as it maintains some of the original site context. Set within mature gardens Doolargy house is an attractive house which makes a positive addition to the built heritage of the area
