An attractive cottage forming an important element of the vernacular heritage of County Waterford, as identified by the long, low massing with informally-arranged openings, together with a thatched roof. Despite now accommodating an alternative use to part of the building, much of the original form and early fabric remains intact. The cottage occupies a prominent site on the road leading out of Ballymacaw to the north, and contributes significantly to the visual appeal of the area.
