The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a full width skillion roofed verandah wrapping around a prominent bay window. The verandah is supported on stop chamfered timber posts. The bay window features single pane double hung sash windows. The front door is offset from the bay window and features hopper and sidelights. The facade is layered with a gabled bay over the bay window with a pressed metal infill. A tall brick gable sits to the rear.
