Square-headed window openings surmounted by architrave with corbels accommodating round-headed fixed timber-framed single-pane display windows with timber spandrels over rendered stall riser.

This building forms an integral part of a terrace of historic houses located in the centre of Dromcolliher.

The inclusion of artistic details such as a corbelled eaves course, fleur-de-lis style motifs and striking decorative window surrounds further enhance the building's façade.
