Sold in 1904 to McKerns with a three-bay single-storey wing added to the front c. 1990. Roof hidden behind pediment. Squared and coursed smooth limestone ashlar walls with carved cornice to pediment over plain frieze and architrave. All round-arched window openings with replacement timber sash windows with margin lights and horns. Those to the outer two bays are set within a round-arched recessed panel with apron panel below. The three centre bays are of equal size and separated by pilasters. Rusticated rendered walls to front extension with roof lights. Timber casement windows and double-leaf timber-panelled doors. Pebbledash rendered walls to rear with pointed-arched window openings to upper floor with uPVC windows. Two door openings and vehicular access door to ground floor level.
