Detached three-bay two-storey house, built in 1841. Located behind boundary wall to front site. Hipped slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles and rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with limestone sills and timber sash windows.

Located on a sharp bend in the road on the slopes of Drumcooly Hill and with mature trees planted around, this house is pleasantly situated. The present owner's family built the house in 1841 after their family home was destroyed in The Big Wind and little of the house has changed much since. The original six-over-six timber sash windows survive as does the limestone door surround, door and fanlight and adjacent yard, all of which contribute to the character of the house.
