End-of-terrace three-bay single-storey with dormer attic house, built c. 1906, with dormer window to east (front) and west elevations, recent extension to west (rear) recessed west bay to front with overhanging roof forming verandah. Half-hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack. Overhanging to front, supported by timber posts. Rendered walls with render plinth course. Square-headed openings with timber casement windows. Square-headed door opening with recent timber battened door and overlight. Timber boundary fence with timber pedestrian gate to entrance.
This house forms one of a group of structures built to the design of William Clifford Smith. Clifford Smith was a prominent architect of the Arts and Crafts movement. These cottages are designed in a similar style to the earlier nineteenth-century estate cottages of Adare Manor. The overhanging roof and timber supports are picturesque features which indicate the influence of the earlier structures. The building is notable for the retention of timber casement windows and the timber door. It is prominently sited along one of the main routes into the town.
