A farmhouse identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of New Ross by such attributes as the rectilinear lobby entry plan form off-centred on a characteristic windbreak; the construction in unrefined local materials displaying a feint battered silhouette; the pronounced disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing; and the high pitched roof originally showing a thatch finish according to an entry in the ""House and Building Return"" Form of the National Census (NA 1901; NA 1911).
