The symmetrical, single storey, face red brick, interwar Bungalow styled house is characterised by a gambrel roof form, together with a minor gable that projects slightly towards the front. These roof forms are clad in terra cotta tiles. An early face brick chimney with a plain projecting concrete capping adorns the roofline. Broad overhangs and exposed timber rafters are features of the eaves.
An early feature of the design is the front verandah formed under the overhang of the main roof. It is supported by squat square timber columns which in turn are supported by face brick piers with concrete cappings. Solid timber brackets complete the verandah decoration.
Other early features of the design include the central entrance doorway with sidelights and highlights, timber framed windows and the timber ventilation and battening and panelling in the minor gable end.
