Detached three-bay single-storey thatched house, built c.1800, with shopfront extension to ground floor, flat roofed extension to east and adjoining three-bay two-storey house to south-east. Hipped reed thatch roof with red brick chimneystack. Painted ruled-and-lined rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with replacement uPVC windows and painted sills. Shopfront to ground floor with replacement uPVC door with replacement uPVC door to side with timber fascia board with raised lettering.
This building is an interesting example of an alternative use for a vernacular thatched house, reminiscent of the dual functioning of commercial and domestic uses once common all over Ireland. It retains its thatched roof and domestic scale and occupies a prominent position in the centre of Ballylooby village.
