Detached four-bay two-storey house, extant 1840, on a rectangular plan with shopfront to right ground floor. Hipped slate roof with clay or terracotta ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stacks having precast concrete corbelled stepped capping supporting terracotta pots, and remains of cast-iron rainwater goods on gritdashed roughcast eaves retaining cast-iron downpipes. Gritdashed roughcast wall to front (north) elevation on rendered plinth with rendered "bas-relief" strips to corners; lime rendered or roughcast surface finish (remainder). Segmental-headed central door opening (east) with threshold, timber doorcase with pilasters supporting cornice, and rendered "bas-relief" surround framing glazed timber panelled door having fanlight. Square-headed central door opening (west) with threshold, and rendered "bas-relief" surround framing glazed timber panelled door having overlight. Square-headed window openings with concrete or rendered sills, and rendered "bas-relief" surrounds framing two-over-two timber sash windows having part exposed sash boxes. Timber shopfront to right ground floor on a symmetrical plan centred on glazed timber panelled double doors having overlight. Road fronted.
A house representing an integral component of the built heritage of Kilmore with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form centred on segregated doorcases; and the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a graduated visual impression. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the historic or original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, including a Classically-composed shopfront of artistic interest, thereby upholding the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in a rural village street scene.
