Terraced two-bay two-storey house with canted bay, built c.1820, with canted bay. Pitched slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods. Smooth rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with limestone sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Replacement timber casement windows to canted bay. Square-headed door opening with raised render surround, half-glazed timber door and polychromatic tiled and limestone threshold. Front of the property hard-surfaced with rendered boundary walls to adjacent properties.

This house forms an integral part of Dundanion Terrace, which was one of the early terraces constructed along Blackrock Road as the area became a fashionable suburb. The asymmetrical arrangement of its openings contrasts with the symmetrical proportions of the surrounding houses. The retention of some early fabric and the polychromatic tiled threshold are of note.
