Hipped and pitched thatch roof with exposed lattice stretchers to raised ridge having exposed scallops, limewashed red brick Running bond chimney stack (north) having stringcourse below capping, concrete coping to gable (south) with cement rendered chimney stack to apex having concrete capping, and blind stretchers to chicken wire-covered eaves having blind scallops. Roughcast battered walls on rendered plinth with rendered flush strips to corners. Square-headed door opening. Square-headed window openings with sills, and concealed dressings framing casement windows. Road fronted.
Archival Description [Replaced 2018]: A farmhouse identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of County Waterford by such attributes as the compact rectilinear direct entry plan form; the battered silhouette; the disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing; and the high pitched roof showing a thatch finish. Furthermore, an adjacent "tin roofed" outbuilding (----) continues to contribute positively to the group and setting values of a self-contained ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene.
