The verandah terminated at the gable bay is supported on timber posts. There is a central door and hopper light flanked by sidelights and a pair of double hung sash windows. The lower walls are rendered and the upper walls are limestone with brick quoins. The roofscape features a pair of tall render capped chimneys.
