This house, which has been well-maintained to present an early aspect, is an attractive small-scale range that, being set back from the line of the road, adds incident to the streetscape of Church Street leading out of Kilcock to the north-west. The house is of social interest, alluding to the traditional vernacular cottage form and representing the type of dwelling inhabited by the majority of the population of the locality in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century. The house retains most of its original form, while the advanced porch is an attractive addition. Important early salient features include timber sash fenestration to the openings.
