Attached three-bay two-storey house, built 1929, on a rectangular plan. Reroofed, ----. Replacement hipped artificial slate roof with ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks having rendered chamfered capping supporting yellow terracotta pots, and uPVC rainwater goods on eaves boards on rendered eaves. Rendered walls on rendered plinth. Segmental-headed central door opening with moulded rendered surround framing timber panelled door having overlight. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills, and concealed dressings framing one-over-one timber sash windows. Set in landscaped grounds on a corner site with roughcast piers to perimeter having concrete capping supporting wrought iron double gates.

A house representing an integral component of the early twentieth-century domestic built heritage of Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form centred on a restrained doorcase; and the somewhat disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing compounded by the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in an urban setting presently (2005) undergoing extensive redevelopment.
