An attractive small-scale composition of regular, balanced proportions retaining much of its original form and massing. However, over-zealous renovation works in the late twentieth century have led to the loss of most of the original fabric, and to the loss of much of the historic character as a consequence. Nevertheless, the house remains an attractive feature in the streetscape of Annestown, integrating pleasantly with the modest nature of the built stock of the village.
