The verandah is supported on turned timber posts with a decorative frieze and post brackets. A vertical timber balustrade spans between the posts. A pair of single garages has been constructed under the verandah. The gable bay features decorative treatments and a bay window with double hung sash windows. There is a central door and hopper light flanked by sidelights and a corner suite.
