Detached three-bay single-storey thatched former house, built c.1875, now in use as outbuilding. Hipped oaten straw roof with exposed scolloping to ridge and eaves. No chimney survives. Limewashed and lime plastered clay and stone walls. Timber battened door and double doors in front wall and later wide opening in west gable. Windows blocked up. Sited at edge of farmyard containing three other thatched structures at end of long avenue.
This former house contains many of the characteristics of Irish vernacular architecture. Though much altered when converted to an outbuilding, it retains its rough timber roof structure. Its clay walls are a feature of east Offaly. Its interest is further enhanced by its association with three other thatched farm buildings.
