Square-headed window openings with render surrounds and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, having corbelled sill course to top floor. Square-headed door opening in ground floor, providing access to upper floors, having timber panelled door with overlight.

This house and shopfront combination is a common feature in Irish towns. The building contributes to the streetscape, as part of a continuous building line of slightly staggered height, due to yhe sloping ground. The original timber sliding sash windows are becoming increasingly rare. Other noteworthy features are the timber shopfront and stone steps.
