Detached three-bay two-storey house with attic, built c. 1820, having two-bay elevations to sides, and flat-roofed porch to front. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and having dormer window to rear. Rendered walls, with render quoins and string course to front elevation. Square-headed window openings having limestone sills, front elevation having ornate render surrounds and replacement uPVC windows, and rear elevation having mainly timber sliding sash windows, one round-headed margined one-over-one pane and others square-headed and two-over-two pane and six-over-six pane. Porch comprising engaged Doric-style render pilasters to corners, with replacement uPVC window to front, and round-headed openings to sides, with render surround having keystones and Doric-style pilasters flanking timber panelled door to east with glazed overlight and similar blind opening to west. Courtyard of two-storey outbuildings to rear comprising five-bay north range, two-bay east range with recent two-bay single-storey lean-to to east elevation, and seven-bay west range. Corrugated-iron roofs, pitched to north and east buildings and hipped to west, with rubble limestone walls, and square-headed window openings with mainly timber fittings. North building has timber battened loading door to first floor and segmental-arched vehicular entrance now partially blocked and having brick voussoirs and metal doors. West outbuilding has brick voussoirs to doorways with corrugated-iron doors and segmental-arched vehicular entrance with brick voussoirs and metal doors.
Lisnagoorneen House, built by George Foster Delaney, is enhanced by the retention of features such as the ornate render surrounds to the windows, limestone sills, and porch. The porch, which retains its decorative Venetian window and ornate door surrounds, is an attractive later addition. The building, in conjunction with its notable outbuildings, form an interesting group of structures.
