Detached four-bay single-storey lobby entry farmhouse with half-dormer attic, extant 1840, on a T-shaped plan off-centred on single-bay single-storey lean-to windbreak; three- or five-bay full-height rear (north) elevation. "Restored", 2004. Now disused. Hipped corrugated-iron roof with pressed iron ridge off-centred on red brick Running bond chimney stack having red brick capping. Replacement roughcast battered walls. Square-headed off-central door opening with concealed dressings framing timber boarded door. Square-headed window openings with shallow sills, and concealed dressings framing replacement two-over-two timber sash windows having part exposed sash boxes. Set in unkempt grounds.
A farmhouse identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of County Wexford by such attributes as the rectilinear lobby entry plan form off-centred on a characteristic windbreak; the construction in unrefined local materials displaying a battered silhouette with sections of "daub" or mud suggested by an entry in the "House and Building Return" Form of the National Census (NA 1901; NA 1911); the somewhat disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing; and the high pitched roof originally showing a thatch finish (NA 1901; NA 1911). Having been sympathetically "restored" following a prolonged period of unoccupancy in the later twentieth century, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with quantities of the original or replicated fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a farmhouse making a pleasing visual statement in a rural street scene.
