It is a weatherboard house of 1888-89 with a hipped roof, with a rear kitchen and hipped-roof brick storeroom joined to the main house by later additions. The house is set on a hill, overlooking Princes Highway on a site bordered by a mature juniper hedge to the east, with a remnant orchard and oak tree in the garden on the west side.
