Corner-sited end-of-terrace two-bay four-storey former house, built c.1820, having bowed corner to north-east, single-bay elevation to side (east) elevation and recent wrap around timber shopfront. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack, eaves course and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with render sills, having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed window openings with render sills to corner bay, having replacement bipartite timber casement windows. Round-headed door opening to front (north) elevation, having render hood moulding with label stops, moulded render surround, tooled limestone steps and timber panelled door surmounted by single-pane fanlight. Wrap around timber shopfront to north-east corner, comprising channelled timber pilasters surmounted by carved architrave, frieze and dentilated cornice. Square-headed window openings having fixed timber-framed single-pane display windows surmounted by three-pane overlights over panelled timber stall risers. Square-headed door opening having double-leaf glazed timber doors surmounted by overlight to side (east) elevation of shopfront.

This tall building forms part of a historic terrace which is located in a prominent position on the approach to Bandon Bridge. Its scale and form make it an important contributor to the streetscape, while its bowed front which addresses its corner setting is unusual. Timber sliding sash windows and the round-headed door opening add to its historic character.
