The building has a with roughcast façade, various gables, slated pitched roof and decorative bargeboards. The windows are flat-headed with a mixture of timber sashes and mullioned and transomed frames.

Appraisal
Attractive L-shaped residence which displays all the picturesque elements of detailing common to many Enniskerry buildings, and combined with the elevated wooded setting, succeeds in using them to their greatest ‘chocolate box’ effect.
