Detached three-bay single-storey split-level house with half-dormer attic, extant 1902, on a T-shaped plan centred on single-bay single-storey flat-roofed projecting porch. Now disused. Split-level pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, concrete or rendered coping to gables with rendered off-central chimney stack having rendered capping supporting terracotta pot, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves retaining cast-iron downpipes with cast-iron rainwater goods to rear (south) elevation on exposed timber rafters retaining cast-iron downpipes. Fine roughcast walls with rusticated rendered piers to corners; part creeper- or ivy-covered rendered surface finish to rear (south) elevation. Square-headed central door opening into house. Square-headed window openings with concrete or rendered sills, and concealed dressings framing two-over-two timber sash windows. Road fronted on a corner site with grass verge to front.
A house representing an integral component of the nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of south County Wexford with the underlying vernacular basis of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form centred on an expressed porch; the somewhat disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing; and the high pitched split-level roofline. A prolonged period of unoccupancy notwithstanding, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house making a picturesque visual statement in a rural street scene.
