Detached four-bay single-storey house, built c. 1910, with gabled porch to front (south) elevation. Pitched slate roof with red brick chimneystack, timber bargeboard and ridge capping. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings with cut stone sills and two-over-four pane timber sliding sash windows, bipartite to east bays. Square-headed opening with timber battened door. Single-bay single-storey outbuilding attached to west with pitched corrugated-iron roof, rubble stone walls and square-headed opening. Single-bay single-storey outbuilding to south with pitched corrugated-iron roof and painted rubble stone walls. Rendered boundary walls with rendered square-profile piers to pedestrian and vehicular entrances. Cast-iron gate to pedestrian entrance.

Modestly sized house with neat façade and design, typical of the houses built throughout Ireland by the various local authorities following the passing of the Land Acts from the 1880s to 1920. It retains much of original form and notable features such as red brick chimneystack, timber bargeboards and timber sliding sash windows. It provides architectural incident to road side.
