The modest, well proportioned and symmetrical form of Tober House typifies late eighteenth-century Irish domestic architecture. The round-headed limestone architrave door surround is another feature found on houses of this age and contributes to the architectural and artistic significance of the house. The house, rear yard and additional farm buildings together create an interesting group of domestic structures. Tober House is set amongst well-maintained gardens and is approached up a sweeping driveway.
