Terraced three-bay two-storey house, extant 1904, on a rectangular plan. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods on rendered eaves retaining cast-iron octagonal or ogee hopper and downpipes. Gritdashed roughcast wall to front (east) elevation on rendered plinth with rendered flush strips to ends. Square-headed central door opening with rendered flush surround framing timber boarded door having overlight. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills, and rendered flush surrounds framing one-over-one timber sash windows. Interior including (ground floor): central hall retaining timber surrounds to door openings framing timber panelled doors; and timber surrounds to door openings to remainder framing timber panelled doors with timber panelled shutters to window openings. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.

A house representing an integral component of the nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of Bunclody with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the slight diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a feint graduated tiered visual effect; and the roof showing a slab-like slate finish. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding the character or integrity of a house making a pleasing visual statement in Ryland Street.
