Detached five-bay single-storey lobby entry thatched house, built c. 1810. Having square-plan single-bay single-storey flat-roofed porch to south (front) elevation and flat-roofed extension to north (rear) elevation. Thatched roof, hipped to east, pitched to west, with rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls having render plinth course. Square-headed openings having concrete sills throughout, two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows to south and east elevations, timber framed windows to west and north elevations, and to south elevation of porch. Square-headed opening to east elevation of porch with half-glazed timber panelled door. Pair of circular rendered piers to east of house, flanking single-leaf metal gate. Freestanding cast-iron water pump to rear of house with banded shaft, fluted domed cap with finial and cow-tail handle.

An interesting example of the vernacular tradition in Limerick, this house retains its asymmetrical façade reflecting the interior plan of the building. The timber sliding sash windows are a notable feature ad the enclosed cottage garden to the front adds context to the building, as does the water pump to the rear.
