A fine house built in the late nineteenth century, on an elevated site with an pre-existing well, tree-lined laneway and complex of outbuildings, as is apparent from map sources. Although altered, the house maintains its character through the retention of traditional materials and features. Of particular note are the slate roof, decorative ridge tiles and timber sliding sash windows.
