Large overall L-shaped plan. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 1:3:1-bay garden front with centre bays set back and fronted by a 5-bay loggia. Stucco detail of all elevations includes: channelled rustication to ground floor and segmental or round-arched openings; mostly plain stucco to 1st floor, and pilastered openings with open triangular or segmental pediments on consoles, or square-headed single lights or groups of lights with moulded cornice hoods on consoles. The windows are late C19 or C20 horned sashes and some French windows. The loggia has an arcade of keyed round arches on panelled square columns and the balcony above has a turned balustrade over a moulded and modillion cornice. The moulding continues as a string around the building and is embellished with modillions where it breaks forward over projecting features. The wings flanking the loggia have canted bay windows to ground floor and tripartite windows above. Along the front of the attached terrace and to steps on the left-hand side towards rear are turned balustrades like the balcony balustrade. Rear entrance front is 1:1:2 bays with distyle-in-antae unfluted Doric porch to 2nd bay from left; balustraded balcony above porch which is set in front of 2-storey break with window with open pediment and flanking quoin strips above round-arched doorway with close-spoked fanlight. Blind windows left of porch, paired windows to 1st-floor right above single light, large window with margin panes and a pair of light at far right. Right-hand return from entrance has triple lights to 1st bay, then a single light above a doorway, then a projecting bay with pedimented window with shallow balustraded balcony set above a wide tripartite window, now with central door, and at far right is a single-storey wing with balustraded parapet.
