The verandah is supported on turned timber posts with fretwork friezes. A timber balustrade spans between the posts. There is a central door and hopper light flanked by sidelights and bay windows. The bay windows extend above the verandah line and feature pairs of double hung sash windows. The half-timbered gables sit above the bay windows. The roofscape features tall chimneys with rendered chimney caps. There are additions to the rear of the house.
