An attractive holiday house which stands out in the landscape due to its corrugated-iron roof and timber clapboard walls. These materials were utilised in the first part of the twentieth century for holiday houses in coastal areas, due to their relative inexpensive and rapid construction possibilities. It retains many original features, including the casement windows and timber battened door with wrought-iron strap hinges. Well located overlooking Rosscarbery Bay, this house makes a positive contribution to the area.
