Two-over-two pane timber sliding sash window to side (north-east) elevation of porch, bipartite timber framed window to front elevation of porch having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows.

Set with its gable to the road, this building follows the traditional siting of many roadside vernacular buildings. As a result of setting the gable to the road, the front elevation facades south, thus allowing the building to maximise solar gain. The form of the building is not vernacular however, with its symmetrical fenestration and render detailing suggesting more formal inspiration. Though currently unoccupied, this house retains much of its original fabric and character.
