To bay window at ground floor level segmental-arched window openings, rendered reveals, joined painted sill and one-over-one timber sash windows with ogee horns. Segmental-arched front door opening, with plain rendered architrave, and panelled timber door with glazed oval upper panel and small glazed overlight.

Appraisal
A modest detached house retaining all original features and façade composition. The intact nature of this house and its original boundary treatment (except for the loss of the original pedestrian gate) makes it a good example of a local suburban vernacular from the 1930s.
