Building to the north-east now in use as originally residence, building to the south-west now in use as storage\office. Flat (felt?) roofs having moulded eaves course and with two rendered chimneystacks to centre; metal rainwater goods. Smooth rendered walls over smooth rendered plinth, and with raised render block-and-start quoins to the corners of the main body of the buildings. Square-headed window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows; windows to building to the south-west now infilled with blockwork and glass blocks. Square-headed doorways to front elevation (south-east) of attached porches to former dwellings having replacement and timber doors, and with plain overlights. Cement rendered walls to site. Flight of steps and pathway to the north-east giving access to lighthouse to the north-west. Located at the west end of Inishtrahull Island, about 5 miles to the north of Malin Head.
