Hipped and pitched thatched roof with rendered chimneystack. Pitched slate roof having render copings to extension. Rendered walls with render quoins.

Square-headed opening to windbreak with timber panelled door. Pair of square-profile rendered piers having single-leaf cast-iron gate and rendered boundary walls.
This house constitutes an important element of the vernacular heritage of County Limerick, as identified by features such as its low form, thatched roof and irregular fenestration rhythm. Reasonably well maintained, the cottage presents an early aspect with much of the original form intact.
