Description

A substantial double-storey building on a long rectangular plan form with weatherboard walls and a gabled terracotta tiled roof. The front elevation contains a recessed entry and a series of timber-framed double-hung sash windows. There appears to have been a large rear verandah with a timber shingle balustrade although this has been enclosed. There have also been a number of alterations to window openings and the front door has been replaced. The house is generally of a simple design with little in the way of decorative detailing. There is a skillion roofed weatherboard outbuilding which is possibly contemporary with the house.
