Pedimented breakfront to single-bay end bays. Granite platband at arch springing level. Timber sash windows with stone sills. uPVC casement windows to southern domestic section.

Appraisal
A particularly handsome and well-executed stable building, retaining many original features. Set just inside one of the main demesne gates, it presents a most striking façade on entry. Also a dominant presence on the Leixlip Road and in the vista west from Lucan village. An integral element of this intact demesne.
