Pitched thatched, corrugated-iron and tiled roofs with brick chimneystacks. Roughcast-rendered walls. Timber sash windows with painted sills. Timber battened doors.

Appraisal
This inhabited farmhouse is a fine example of local traditional building technology. The incorporation of thatch, corrugated-iron and asbestos cement tiles reflects the development and usage of roofing materials that has occurred over the past century.
