Detached three-bay two-storey farmhouse, extant 1885, on a rectangular plan with single-bay two-storey side elevations. Renovated, 1968. Replacement hipped fibre-cement slate roof with lichen-covered clay ridge tiles, paired rendered red brick Running bond central chimney stacks having stringcourses below capping supporting terracotta pots, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Replacement roughcast walls bellcast over rendered plinth. Hipped segmental-headed central door opening with cut-granite threshold, timber doorcase with panelled pilasters supporting shallow cornice on fluted consoles, and rendered "bas-relief" surround framing timber panelled door having sidelights below overlight. Square-headed window openings with cut-granite sills, and concealed dressings framing six-over-six (ground floor) or three-over-six (first floor) timber sash windows. Interior including (ground floor): central hall retaining timber surrounds to door openings framing timber panelled doors; and timber surrounds to door openings to remainder framing timber panelled doors with timber panelled shutters to window openings. Set back from road in landscaped grounds with rendered piers to perimeter having shallow pyramidal capping supporting wrought iron double gates.

A farmhouse representing an integral component of the mid nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form centred on a Classically-detailed doorcase demonstrating good quality workmanship; and the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding the character or integrity of a farmhouse having long-standing connections with the Prendergast family including John Prendergast (NA 1901) and Bridget Prendergast (NA 1911).
