The National Monuments Service's description
An occupied two-storey gable-ended house. The front elevation (ENE-facing) is of three bays and has a central doorway with a rectangular overlight. The window opes are rectangular and some retain sash frames with glazing bars. There is a chimney on each gable. There is a one-storey off-centre projection at the rear. A one-storey outhouse adjoins the SW end of the house. According to Bary (1994, 162), the house may date to the early 18th century and was originally associated with the Fitzgerald family.
