Yellow brick laid in Flemish bond with rendered margins to east and west. Square-headed window openings with granite sills and flush sash boxes. Six-over-six pane timber sash windows to first floor. Six-over-six pane timber sash window to central opening of second floor, framed by two-over-four pane timber sash windows.

A rare surviving Dutch Billy house, No.35 was moved and rebuilt during road widening works on Kevin Street. Though much altered, some early features remain including the angled chimneystack, flush sash boxes and curved gable. The attractive shopfront with egg-and-dart cornice and carved scroll ends makes a positive contribution to the streetscape.
