Detached three-bay two-storey former railway worker's house, built c. 1885, having single-bay single-storey extension to west elevation. Now in use as house. Pitched slate roofs with timber bargeboards and ornate brick chimneystacks. Flat roof to extension. Flemish bond brick walls having carved limestone string course. Camber-headed openings with limestone sills and replacement uPVC windows throughout. Square-headed opening to extension. Camber-headed opening with recessed timber panelled door with overlight. Rendered boundary walls to site.
Cobh owes a large part of its rapid expansion in the late nineteenth century to the arrival of the railway. This former railway workers house is built with high quality materials in the Tudor Revival style. The chimneys are especially ornate and the cut limestone dressing contrast agreeably against the red brick walls.
