Round-headed door opening with moulded render surround having keystone and pilasters flanking timber panelled door with leaded stained glass sidelights and tripartite fanlight with timber mullions. Square-headed door opening to balcony with double-leaf glazed timber doors having leaded glass overlight.

Set back from street with rendered plinth wall having cut limestone coping supporting cast-iron railings to the south end of the garden.
Appraisal
A very well-maintained house of the late-Victorian period which retains a wealth of original decorative detail to its front elevation. The double-height veranda and balcony structure displays a high level of craftsmanship in the cast-iron details and is a rare feature not commonly seen on buildings in the city. The ornate leaded glass to the doorways is further indication of the highly decorative features favoured during this period.
