A modest house, built in different phases, incorporates both late Georgian and late Victorian features. The original modest block retains its simple proportions, and features such as the carriage arch enhance the character of the site. The east extension is characteristic of the Victorian style, which included features such as the bay windows with ornate stained glass windows. The house is an interesting confluence of styles reflecting the continued habitation of the site over the centuries.
