The entrance with panelled door and plain segmental fanlight is flanked either side by a pair of plain-sashed segmental headed lights. Upper windows are square-headed with vertical division. The roof is slated, there are variegated chimney stacks on either gable and bargeboards are decorated. A hipped-roof glass varandah is supported on four slim cast iron columns. Low return at rear, wooden porch at side.'
