This house is a fine, substantial building of unusual appearance, with expansive wall masses barely relieved by gracefully-proportioned window openings and with a door opening discreetly positioned to one corner. The house is of social and historic interest, representing the early development of the Quaker settlement in Ballitore in the late eighteenth century. Extensively renovated in the late twentieth century leading to the loss of most of the original fabric, the replacement materials have been installed alluding to the original appearance of the house. The house is an imposing feature of the streetscape on the road leading out of the historic core of the village to the south and is an integral component of the terrace.
