Semi-detached three-bay single-storey house, built c.1930, having gable-fronted projecting end bay to front (north-east) elevation. Pitched artificial slate roof with overhanging eaves, rendered chimneystacks and uPVC rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills, having timber-framed tripartite windows with two-over-two pane sliding sash windows to front elevation openings. Square-headed door opening having glazed timber door with rendered stepped approach. Rendered enclosing wall with square-profile gate piers and wrought-iron gate.

Located overlooking Courtmacsherry harbour, this modest house is an excellent example of early twentieth century domestic architecture. It has maintained its historic character intact, through the retention of various original features including fine tripartite sash windows, glazed timber door and wrought-iron gate. Forming part of a group of four houses, it is the only one to retain its original features, and could be used as a template for the reinstatement of features for the others in the group.
