Detached three-bay two-storey farmhouse, occupied 1901, on a rectangular plan. Reroofed, ----. Replacement hipped fibre-cement slate roof with lichen-covered ridge tiles, paired rendered red brick Running bond central chimney stacks having "Cavetto"-detailed chamfered capping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber eaves boards on box eaves retaining cast-iron downpipes. Rendered, ruled and lined walls on rendered plinth with rusticated rendered quoins to corners. Hipped central door opening into farmhouse with concealed dressings framing glazed timber panelled door having sidelights. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills, and rusticated rendered block-and-start surrounds framing one-over-one timber sash windows having camber-headed glazing panels. Road fronted with rendered stepped boundary wall to perimeter having concrete coping supporting rosette-detailed cast-iron railings.

A farmhouse representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of Monamolin with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form centred on a restrained doorcase, albeit one largely concealed behind a later porch; and the somewhat disproportionate bias of solid to void in the massing compounded by 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 original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a farmhouse making a pleasing visual statement in a rural village street scene.
