Painted render finish. Square headed openings with cills to windows. Replacement timber casement windows to front and south elevations, with twin bay windows added to ground floor of south elevation, c. 1865.

Appraisal
Although one of the most characteristic features of this building, its windows, have been replaced, this mid nineteenth century building retains its original scale and proportions as well as its distinctive decorative timber entrance porch. Significant also due to its association and grouping with St. John's Church.
