This building is a notable and colourful addition to the streetscape. The red brick walls are enlivened by the ashlar limestone plinths and sills, and by the yellow and vitrified brick courses. The flanking screen walls and the elaborate wrought-iron railings and gates enhance the setting of the house. The fine timber doorcase set in the decorative brick doorcase is a notable feature of the building.
