Detached three- or four-bay single-storey lobby entry farmhouse with half-dormer attic, rebuilt 1905, on a T-shaped plan centred on single-bay single-storey gabled projecting porch. Hipped fibre-cement slate roof; pitched (gabled) fibre-cement slate roof (porch), lichen-spotted clay ridge tiles off-centred on red brick Running bond chimney stack having corbelled stepped capping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on box eaves retaining cast-iron downpipes. Gritdashed roughcast battered walls to front (west) elevation with rendered flush strips to corners supporting rendered band to eaves; cement rendered surface finish (remainder) including creeper- or ivy-covered cement rendered surface finish to rear (east) elevation. Square-headed central door opening with rendered flush surround framing glazed timber panelled door. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills, and rendered flush surrounds framing two-over-two timber sash windows. Set back from line of road in landscaped grounds with rendered piers to perimeter having shallow pyramidal capping supporting flat iron gate.

A farmhouse representing an integral component of the early twentieth-century domestic built heritage of County Wexford with the underlying vernacular basis of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear lobby entry plan form centred on a projecting windbreak-like porch; the feint battered silhouette; and the somewhat disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing compounded by the uniform or near-uniform proportions of the openings on each floor. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a farmhouse making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene.
