Studd Cona is a large detached house located on Military Road, which joins the small village of Crinkill to the larger town of Birr. The house is typical of its time, with its highly symmetrical façade created by the arrangement of its central entrance door, its timber sash windows with marginlights and the large timber brackets that support the open eaves.
