The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
A single-storey, two bay vernacular dwelling with outbuildings to left gable; aligned SW-NE on the W side of Foughilletra Road.
Pitched corrugated metal roof with concrete skews and a brick chimney to each gable (that to right has collapsed). No rainwater goods. Walls are lime-rendered rubble stone.
Principal elevation faces SE. Right bay has a windbreak porch set to left with flat brick and cement coped roof - front face contains a t+g sheeted door and right and left cheeks are blank. To either side is a partially collapsed 2/2 exposed-box sliding sash window – both with cement rendered brick cills.
Left gable is completely abutted by a single-storey outbuilding on far gable of which is another such outbuilding. Both are unrendered rubble stone. That to right has a pitched natural slate roof (spaced slates). There is a t+g sheeted door to left and an infilled window opening to rear. The building to left has a pitched corrugated metal roof and a single door opening at right.
Rear elevation and right gable of main house are blank.

Historical information
Although a building is shown at this spot on the 1835 and 1861 OS maps, it does not accord with the ground plan of the present one. The latter is probably of later 19th century date as it is depicted on the 1907 edition.
