The place has aesthetic and historic significance as a rare example of residential development in the Old Port City area of Fremantle dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Part of a group of remnant residential buildings in Collie, Nairn and Essex Street. Example of an early cottage that exhibits changes from the Inter-War post World War ll period that contributes to the aesthetic character of the place.
Single storey residence, rendered masonry and a tiled hipped roof with two chimneys with corbelling and chimney pots. There is a tiled roof veranda, which is supported by metal columns (not original), onto masonry pillars and a low wall balustrade; a low front fence wall is similar in appearance. The timber casement windows are covered with security shutters (not original).
Essex Street is named after the English county, as per Norfolk and Suffolk Streets.
