A large scale nineteenth-century house with a well composed frontage that retains its original sash windows. The house occupies a corner site and has an imposing presence in the streetscape. Altered openings at ground floor level indicate a former retail use. It is an excellent example of the nineteenth-century street architecture of the town and makes a valuable contribution to the historic character of Blacklion.
