This attractive Georgian style house has maintained much of its historic character through the retention of key historic features including a hipped slate roof, timber sash windows, internal timber shutters and tooled stone sills. The house makes a strong contribution to the architectural heritage of south County Limerick. Originally, the house formed part of the large estate that belonged to the Glenwilliam demesne. The house also incorporates the former labourer's cottage which was beside it.
