The main range has slender tourelles to each bay, large canted bay windows at first floor with mullion-and-transom casements, and tall Dutch-gabled dormers with cross-windows. The attached verandah, of four bays, has slender cast-iron columns and delicately foliated open-work brackets supporting a curved glazed roof.
