Lined-and-ruled rendered walls with rendered plinth, raised render quoins to front elevation, having rendered platband and moulded render cornice on carved timber corbels to canted bay. Camber-headed window openings with stone sills and incised rendered voussoirs throughout with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Rendered block-and-start surrounds to tripartite window openings, having timber mullions and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Recessed square-headed door opening within rendered doorcase to front elevation, comprising fluted capped pilasters with cruciform motifs, surmounted rendered lozenge with cruciform motif. Timber panelled door with limestone stepped approach and threshold. Camber-headed carriageway opening with double-leaf timber battened doors to east end of front elevation. Rendered enclosing plinth with recent aluminium railings to south, having square-profile rendered gate piers with replacement aluminium gate.
A striking house which is a notable feature of the streetscape, distinguished from the surrounding houses by its unusual canted-bay, deeply incised lined-and-ruled render and simple yet substantial doorcase. Set across the road from the church which it serves, it forms part of an interesting group of related structures.
