Elegant classically-proportioned house, retaining its original form with chamfered corner and window fenestration. The façade is enlivened by the ornate entrance with timber engaged columns and spoked fanlight. The extension is representative of Victorian architecture with its use of full-height bay windows and dormer windows. The extension adds continuity and context to the site.
