Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1860, on site of police station, possibly incorporating earlier fabric, with recent two-storey extension to rear (west) elevation. Pitched slate roof with red brick end chimneystacks and replacement uPVC rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth quoins and plinth. Slated canopy over door supported by decorative timber brackets. Square-headed door opening with smooth render surround and timber panelled door with over-light. Square-headed window openings with flush reveals and painted sills, and having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with ogee horns to ground floor, with margined lights and coloured and textured glazing, and timber casement windows with margined lights to first floor. Replacement timber windows to sides and rear. Set back from road with small cottage garden to front and recent pedestrian gate and railings on low roughcast rendered boundary wall with smooth rendered pedestrian gate piers. Taller roughcast rendered boundary walls with stone capping adjoining sides elevations and curve out to roadside.
Retaining particularly attractive margined light windows to the front elevation, this house is a good example of the nineteenth-century fashion to use coloured glass for decorative purposes alongside clear glass and slim glazing bars. the building has the classic three-bay two-storey form of so many Irish rural houses.
