Originally a symmetrical 5-window house, extended to the left with a porch in the re-entrant.

The band extends along the recessed left-hand block, as does the cornice and parapet. The large open porch has banded, recessed quadrant corners, Greek Doric columns between incised corners, to a cornice and parapet; the doorway has curved reveals, plate-glass overlight and 2-leaf 6-panel doors. Taller central ground-floor windows, those above with eared architraves and Greek Key panels above, outer first-floor windows have semicircular-arched heads and palmette panels above, all with aprons. Right-hand ground-floor window has a tented verandah with cast-iron railings; the entrance was formerly in the matching bay to the left. INTERIOR: a 1878 lobby with steps up, marble panels to the sides, and brown glazed panels of playing children. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: attached banded wall extends to the left to 2 pairs of banded, capped piers with incised decoration, separated by a carriage gateway with large timber gates. A flagged road leads to the former stables (not included). Strong stylistic links with houses by Charles Dyer on Litfield Place.
