Roughcast rendered walls with painted quoins and painted smooth-rendered plinth. Replacement timber windows (front) and timber sash windows (rear). Porch with concrete walls and flat concrete roof with timber panelled door and replacement timber window. Located close to and parallel to the Grand Canal with a towpath and garden intervening and having yard behind.
A well-presented thatched farmhouse forming a feature of architectural interest on the Grand Canal and possibly built after this feat of engineering. It retains many typical vernacular architectural features.
