Rendered, ruled and lined walls on rendered plinth. Square-headed central door opening with rendered "shouldered" surround framing replacement glazed timber door having overlight. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills, and rendered "shouldered" surrounds framing two-over-two timber sash windows. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.

A house representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Louisburgh with the architectural value of the composition, one potentially dating back to the foundation of the town (1795) by John Denis Browne (1756-1809), first Marquess of Sligo, suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; and the very slight diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a feint graduated visual impression. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the historic or original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in Long Street.
