Detached four-bay single-storey lobby entry thatched house, extant 1840, on a rectangular plan off-centred on single-bay single-storey gabled projecting porch. Renovated, ----. Replacement hipped oat thatch roof with chicken wire-covered exposed stretchers to ridge having exposed scallops, red brick Running bond off-central dwarf chimney stack, and exposed wire stretchers to eaves having exposed scallops. Limewashed lime rendered battered walls; limewashed lime rendered surface finish to rear (west) elevation bellcast over rendered plinth. Square-headed off-central door opening into house. Square-headed window openings with concealed dressings framing two-over-two timber sash windows having part exposed sash boxes. Square-headed window openings to rear (west) elevation with limewashed shallow sills, and concealed dressings framing two-over-two timber sash windows having part exposed sash boxes. Set perpendicular to road with limewashed red brick Running bond piers to perimeter having concrete capping supporting timber double gates.
A house identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of the outskirts of Curracloe by such attributes as the alignment perpendicular to the road; the rectilinear lobby entry plan form off-centred on an expressed, albeit later porch; the construction in unrefined local materials displaying a pronounced battered silhouette with a flaking surface finish revealing evidence of "daub" or mud; and the high pitched roof showing an oat thatch finish. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the historic or original fabric, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in a rural street scene.
