Renovated, c.1955, with single-bay single-storey flat-roofed projecting porch added to front. Hipped roof with reed thatch having rope work to ridge, and rendered chimney stacks. Hipped artificial slate roof to end bay with clay ridge tiles, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Flat felt roof to porch with plastic rainwater goods on timber eaves. Painted replacement rendered walls, c.1930, with slight batter. Square-headed window openings with stone sills (concrete sills to additional ranges). 2/2 timber sash windows with timber casement windows to additional ranges having fluted ‘pilasters’ to canted bay window. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door. Set back from road in own grounds with tarmacadam forecourt. (ii) Detached two-bay single-storey rubble stone outbuilding, c.1930, to north-west with single-bay single-storey lean-to end bay to left (south-west). Pitched roof (lean-to to end bay) with painted corrugated-iron, iron ridge tiles, rendered coping, and no rainwater goods. Random rubble stone walls with remains of limewash over. Square-headed door opening with timber boarded door.

An appealing cottage of long, low massing and informal arrangement, which forms an important element of the vernacular tradition of County Waterford. Well maintained, the cottage retains most of its fabric and character, while later additions do not overwhelm the original form of the composition.
