Yellow brick and rendered chimney stacks. Cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast walls. Painted. Square-headed window openings. Stone sills. 2/2 timber sash windows. Round-headed door opening.

This house, which dates to the earliest phase of construction on the planned Main Street, has been well-maintained to present an early aspect on to the road. The house is composed of graceful proportions on a symmetrical plan and conveys the aspirations to sophisticated architectural forms that were an aim of the establishment of a planned estate town. The house retains a number of important early salient features, including timber sash fenestration and cast-iron rainwater goods to the slate roof. The house is of particular importance for its age and contribution to the streetscape of Main Street, continuing the established streetline of the planned street, while contributing to the regular roofline of the terrace as it proceeds to meet with the entrance to the Carton estate to north-east.
