Federation Bungalow with Arts & Crafts Influences

It is asymmetrically composed with a thrust gable bay and a full-width bull-nosed roofed verandah. The verandah extends over the gable bay and is supported on turned timber posts with post brackets. A central gabled over the verandah marks the entry. The half-timbered gable bay is set over a bay window. The bay window features a pair of double hung sash windows. There is a central door flanked by sidelights and a pair of double hung sash windows.
