Semi-detached two-bay two-storey house, built 1898, sharing gable-fronted porch and sharing timber balcony to first floor of front elevation. Pitched slate roofs with red brick chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings with replacement uPVC windows and cut limestone sills. Balcony to first floor with cast-iron railings, supported on metal brackets. Porch comprising rendered plinth walls and fixed timber windows with round-headed lights and square-headed timber panelled door. Concrete walls to paved area to front of house, and rubble stone boundary wall to street with pedestrian entrance having rendered piers and decorative cast-iron gate.

This house, together with its pair, offers variety of style and form to the architectural heritage of Fermoy. Its façade is enhanced by the retention of features such as the timber porch and balcony. Decorative interest is added by the use of cast-iron railings to the balcony and original cast-iron gate. Its boundary walls add context to the prominent site.
