Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and render eaves course. Rendered walls having render plinth course and quoins. Camber-headed opening to ground floor having concrete sill and one-over-one pane timber sliding margin sash window. Square-headed opening to ground floor with replacement uPVC window, concrete sill and external shutters. Square-headed openings to first floor having replacement uPVC windows and concrete sills. Camber-headed opening to first floor, north elevation with concrete sill, flanking timber shutters and one-over-one pane timber sliding margin sash window. Camber-headed opening with half-glazed timber battened door. Shopfront comprising Doric style pilasters supporting timber fascia having raised lettering and cornice.

This house was used as a coach house during the nineteenth century as part of the Bianconi Tipperary to Limerick line and is thus of historic and social significance. The building retains its simple form, which is enlivened by the timber shopfront and ornate half-glazed timber panelled door to the north elevation.
