It is a simple expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The place is asymmetrically planned with a full width return bullnose roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on square timber posts. The verandah stops at an extension to the north. The extension has French doors to the verandah. There is a central door flanked by double hung sash windows. There are skillion roofed additions to the rear. The place is consistent with the pattern of development in Plympton and plays an important role in the pattern of development of a working class suburb.
