It is a simple expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a full width wrapping skillion roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts over a timber floor. The verandah turns down along the side of the house to the entrance door set. A prominent gable extends above the verandah. The gable features a double hung sash window.
