Detached seven-bay two-storey house with dormer attic, c.1800. Extended, c.1900, comprising single-bay two-storey lean-to lower return to rear to south-east. Refenestrated, c.1990. Now disused.

This house is an imposing, middle-size building that, although renovated in the late twentieth century and now unoccupied, retains most of its original form and character. The house is of some social and historic interest, representing the early development of the town. Composed of graceful proportions, the front (north-west) elevation is a prominent feature on the streetscape leading out of Kilcock to the north-east before the border with County Meath. The house retains some important early features and materials, including a slate roof, while the re-instatement of timber fenestration might restore a more accurate representation of the original appearance of the building while muting the blank quality of the façade. The house is complemented by a fine rubble stone outbuilding to south-east, which is in need of some repair.
