The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a thrust gable bay and a full width return broken back roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts with timber valance boards. A vertical timber balustrade spans between the posts. The gable bay features brick vents, brick detailing, a tiled awning and a set of casement windows and hopper lights. There is a central door flanked by a set of casement windows and hopper lights. The roofscape features a pair of render capped chimneys. A set of stairs lead down to the garden from the verandah. The place sits on limestone foundations. The lower walls are face brick and the upper walls are rendered.
