Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, concrete or rendered coping to gables with red brick Running bond chimney stacks to apexes having stringcourses below capping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on boxed eaves retaining cast-iron downpipes. Rendered, ruled and lined wall to front (east) elevation on rendered plinth; rendered (south) or roughcast (north) surface finish. Square-headed window openings (upper floors) with sills, and concealed dressings framing one-over-one (first floor) or two-over-two (top floor) timber sash windows having part exposed sash boxes. Street fronted on a corner site with concrete footpath to front.
A house representing an integral component of the mid nineteenth-century built heritage of New Ross with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; and the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression.
