Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, and iron rainwater goods on slightly overhanging timber eaves. Painted rendered walls with rendered channelled piers to ends. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills, rendered surrounds, and replacement timber casement windows. Square-headed door opening with rendered surround, and glazed timber panelled door. Road fronted.
Appraisal
A small-scale house of modest appearance originally intended as a manse forming part of a neat self-contained group with the adjacent Methodist hall (12323006/KK-32-23-06). While the retention of the original form and massing maintains much of the integrity of the composition the external expression of the house has not benefited from the substantial replacement of much of the early fabric.
