House forms north-west range of yard, with two-storey outbuilding to south-west, having concrete block external staircase to south-east gable, and single-storey outbuilding to north-east. Pitched corrugated-iron roofs, whitewashed rubble stone walls, square-headed openings with timber battened fittings. Carriage arch to north-west gable of south-west range, having red brick voussoirs. Rubble stone boundary wall with rubble stone piers, both with render capping, to south-east boundary. South-west gable of house and south-west elevation of two-storey outbuilding stand on roadside having timber battened double-leaf gate.
This farmhouse and outbuildings are typical of traditional farmstead arrangements and of Ireland's vernacular tradition, with simple forms, small openings, local materials, and a house oriented to follow the path of the sun, respond to the local landscape, and create a sheltered yard with the other buildings, rather than addressing the road. It retains much early fabric and character, including timber sash windows and whitewashed walls.
