The house is about three miles south of Gracehill. The front of the building faces east. This is a single-storey plastered and whitened house with a thatch covering between cement skews at the gables both of which rise to a corbelled chimneystack. There is a further stack placed right of centre above the original main hearth. The chimneystack over the left-hand (south) gable and that over the original main hearth are provided with a single pot and a spark arrester. That over the right hand (north gable) is without a pot. The entrance with a sheeted half door is flanked to the right by two double casement windows, and to the left by a similar window. A modern extension projects on the right hand (north) gable. It is roofed with natural slate, rainwater goods are of metal, and a pair of windows on the (north) gable matches those at the front of the house. The left-hand (south) gable of the main house is blank On the west side the sheeted rear door has a glazed panel, and the distribution of casement windows is similar to that of the front namely two to the right, and one to the left.
