Detached three-bay two-storey over basement former glebe house, built 1815, now in use as house. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack with ceramic pots. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth render string courses and plinth course, square-headed recess to west elevation, channelled render panels to rear (south) elevation and textured render quoins. Square-headed window openings with replacement uPVC windows throughout, with render surrounds to ground and first floor and with render sill course to first floor. Round-headed door opening with timber panelled door, Doric pilasters, cobweb fanlight and render surround. Nameplate over. Rendered panelled curved entrance walls and square-profile piers with render ball finials and wrought-iron double-leaf gates.
Financed with a gift and a loan from the Board of First Fruits, its appearance typical in many ways of the archetypal medium-sized house in the Irish countryside. Hipped roof and central chimneystack over a symmetrical façade, defined by vertically oriented windows and central entrance emphasised, a recurring motif through several centuries. Formal properties enhanced and emphasised by applied render decoration, more typical of urban rather than rural Irish architecture. Set in and enhanced by mature grounds.
