Square-headed door opening to porch with render surround and replacement timber door. House set at end of avenue with rendered gate piers and boundary walls to garden to front of house, having wrought-iron pedestrian gate. Double-leaf wrought-iron gates to east of house.

Appraisal
This pleasant and well-maintained house, with its battered clay and stone walls and small asymmetrically-placed openings, is an excellent example of vernacular architecture. The retention of materials and features such as the thatched and corrugated-iron roof and timber sliding sash windows illustrates the craftsmanship of vernacular architecture. The attic window is an interesting feature.
