Extended, c.1955, comprising single-bay single-storey lean-to corrugated-iron-clad return to west. Decommissioned, 1967. Now disused. Hipped slate roof with clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stack, and remains of cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Lean-to corrugated-iron roof to return with no rainwater goods on overhanging eaves. Limewashed random rubble stone walls with tooled cut-stone quoins to corners. Painted corrugated-iron-clad walls to return. Square-headed window openings with stone sills, and lintels. 2/2 and 3/3 timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening with lintel, and tongue-and-groove timber panelled door. Square-headed door opening to return with timber boarded door. Road fronted with grass verge to front.

A picturesque, small-scale house of almost vernacular form and appearance, which is of significance for its associations with the development of the Great Southern Railway line in the locality by the Fishguard and Rosslare Railways and Harbours Company. Although long disused, the house retains most of its original form, together with important salient features and materials, and contributes to character of the area.
