Pitched slate roof on an L-shaped plan with decorative terracotta ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stacks, and iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves having consoles. Painted rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills, and one-over-one timber sash windows.

A pleasant middle-size house occupying an important corner site, thereby enhancing the streetscape value of John Street Upper and Maudlin Street. Having been well maintained the house presents an early aspect with most of the historic fabric surviving intact including a finely-executed shopfront enlivening the external expression of the composition at street level.
