Outbuildings to north and west, including four-bay two-storey house having pitched slate roof, coursed rubble stone walls and chimneystacks, openings with limestone lintels and with single-bay single-storey addition recessed to east gable having hipped slate roof.

Ebor Hall is a good example of a medium-sized country house set on the north shore of Lough Corrib. Its form and detailing are well mannered, the heavy string courses serving to break up its massing. Its relatively plain appearance is enhanced by the treatment of the front elevation with ist slightly projecting bays, cornices and fine timber doorcase and door. The setting is enhanced by the attendant gate lodge, gates and boundary walls.
