Set within its own grounds, this well-proportioned house exhibits attention to detail in its design and retains many of its original materials and features. The building's façade is enlivened by its corbelled eaves course, upper floor window opening surrounds and continuous sill course. The red brick boundary walls and fine railings add to its setting and to the streetscape.
