Square-headed openings with six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows having painted stone sills. Square-headed openings to extensions, some with timber casement windows. Square-headed opening to porch having double-leaf timber panelled doors. Flight of concrete steps with metal railings to entrance. Two-bay single-storey outbuilding to east courtyard having pitched slate roof. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed door openings. Rubble boundary walls to courtyard with elliptical-headed carriage arch to north wall with red brick voussoirs.

This simple former glebe house, which was built by the Board of First Fruits, retains much of its modest form, despite later additions. Features such as the slate roof and sash windows help to conserve the original appearance of the house, which retains a simple outbuilding to rear. Associated with Nantinan Church of Ireland church and the Natinan House demesne, this glebe house once formed an important social role in the local area.
