Eclectic style with some classical features. Two storeys over cellars, 3 windows to both principal facades (the east and south); with white-painted channelled stucco carried round at ground floor finishing at a lst-floor sillband, a plain frieze, and a prominent wooden modillioned cornice over the principal elements of both these facades. The entrance front to the east is asymmetrical, having a wide projected bay offset left of centre which has a sashed window at ground floor flanked by coved niches with run-out voussoirs, and a window of 3 narrow lights at 1st floor, the centre light blind and the others sashed; a narrow bay set back to the left, with 4 steps up to a round-headed doorway which has a pilastered architrave and plain fanlight, and a narrow sashed wndow above; and a wide 3rd bay to the right which has a tripartite sashed window at ground floor and a 12-pane sash above. All these windows have unhorned sashes, all have margin panes except that to the right at ground floor which is 4-paned in the centre, and all those at 1st floor have painted stone surrounds including ornamental balustrades. The south front (to the garden) is likewise asymmetrical, having a short pedimented wing offset to the right, with a full-width canted bay at ground floor containing tall tripartite French windows, and a large square window above (with altered glazing); a round-headed window right of this (lighting the porch); a verandah roof to the left; and 8-pane unhorned sashed windows at 1st floor, both with margin panes and balustrades like the others. Hipped roof of shallow pitch, with central chimney stack. The north side wall has a raised centre with a coved niche at ground floor and a 12-pane sash above (like the others, including the balustrade); and a 1-window rear portion stepped back and 3-storeyed to the same height, with similar margin-paned unhorned sashes on all floors. INTERIOR: not inspected, but known to have features of equivalent quality, including elaborate moulded plaster cornices and a staircase with light-well similarly decorated.
