Detached three-bay single-storey lobby entry thatched farmhouse with dormer attic, extant 1840, on a T-shaped plan centred on single-bay single-storey flat-roofed projecting porch. Reroofed, 1993. Chicken wire-covered replacement hipped oat thatch roof overhanging gablets to window openings to dormer attic with rope twist above paired exposed bamboo stretchers to ridge having exposed wire scallops, red brick Running bond off-central chimney stack having corbelled stepped capping, and paired exposed bamboo stretchers to eaves having exposed wire scallops. Roughcast battered walls. Square-headed central door opening into farmhouse. Square-headed window openings with limewashed sills, and concealed dressings framing timber casement windows. Set in courtyard.

A farmhouse identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of Ballyedmond by such attributes as the rectilinear lobby entry plan form; the construction in unrefined local materials displaying a pronounced battered silhouette with sections of ""daub"" or mud suggested by an entry in the ""House and Building Return"" Form of the National Census (NA 1901; NA 1911); the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing; and the high pitched roof showing a replenished oat thatch finish.
