Substantial two storey farm house, of perhaps c.1870, with attic and single storey section to gable. The property is at the end of a lane to the S of Ballyfounder Road, c.2 miles SE of Portaferry. The front façade of the main building faces roughly E and is symmetrical. To the centre is a timber and glazed door with patterned glass fanlight and sidelights all encased with pilasters, with moulded brackets supporting canopy over elliptical arch recess (which probably once had fanlight). To each side of the doorway are two sash windows, with vertical astragals. There are five similar windows to first floor. The N gable has one window to right on ground floor and two to first floor, all as before. S gable of main building has attic window as before (minus astragals). To the ground floor of this gable is the single storey section, which has a single pane fixed light window to its gable with two smaller fixed light windows high to its eaves. The E façade of the single storey portion has two windows similar to front of main house, with a square window, with modern frame, and a timber sheeted door to the rear façade. Rear of main building has two windows to ground floor and three to first floor as before but with Georgian panes to ground floor window at right. Former doorway now blocked to far right. Entire facade finished in limestone chip render with smooth cement bands to corners and eaves with facade finishing on bell cast with smooth cement recessed base below. All windows have smooth cement surrounds except those to gable of the single storey section. The gabled roof is covered with ‘Thru-tone’ slates with Bangor blues to extension. Single off centre recent brown brick chimney stack to main roof, with gable chimney stack(s) now removed. Small Velux window to rear. PVC gutters and down spouts. Random rubble out buildings to south west with remnants of random rubble walls to rear of house, with section of similar garden wall at front.
