One-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows having timber casement windows to rear addition and extensions. Single blind window opening to second floor of front elevation. Round-headed door opening to front elevation having raised moulded render surround, tooled limestone steps, timber panelled door and spoked fanlight. Square-headed door opening to side (east) elevation of addition, having glazed timber door. Located on earthen terrace with cast-iron railings and gate to north with makers mark embossed to gate piers, mostly illegible but words 'Perrott & Sons Cork' can be made out.

A fine tall house, built as part of a short terrace which makes the most of its scenic views overlooking the Owenboy River. Its historic character is greatly enhanced by the retention of numerous historic and decorative features including sash windows, a fine door surround, render details and cast-iron rainwater goods. These houses are a reminder of the fashion at the time for sea side living, both full time and for holidays, in the nineteenth century.
