Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1830, with two-bay two-storey return to the northeast. Hipped natural slate roof with overhanging eaves having rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Pitched natural slate roof to return. Roughcast lime rendered walls with deep dentil eaves cornice. Square-headed window openings with stone sills and six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows. Glazed timber entrance porch to centre of front façade (east) with hipped felted roof having glazed double timber doors. Square-headed doorcase with timber panelled door behind porch. Two-storey extension to the northeast adjoins two-storey range of roughcast rendered outbuildings, built c.1860, arranged around a central courtyard. Corrugated-iron roof to range to east and asbestos roof to range forming the west side of yard. Three-over-six pane and eight-over-eight pane timber sliding sash windows and single pane fixed casement windows. Square-headed door openings with battened timber doors. Set back from road in mature ground to the northeast end of Killucan. Main entrance with wrought-iron gate and rendered gates piers to the south.
This good quality middle-size house, which retains much of its original architectural impact and style. Its scale, style and form is very typical of late-Georgian architecture in rural Ireland. The front porch and the dentil cornice add a decorative element to an otherwise plain but attractive and well-proportioned building. The substantial range of outbuildings to the north, a number of which have been sympathetically converted into domestic use, retain their original charm and character and enhance the property making it an important element in the town's architectural heritage. The good quality gates complete the setting and add an attractive element to the streetscape of Killucan.
