This house is an attractive early twentieth-century artisan-style dwelling that retains most of its original form and character. Despite the modest scale, the house is provided with much visual incident through the use of red brick dressings, a gablet to the half-dormer attic, and crested ridge tiles, with the result that it is an attractive feature on the streetscape of Dublin Road. The house retains most of its original features and materials, including multi-pane timber sash fenestration and a slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods.
