Detached L-plan three-bay single-storey gate lodge, built c.1910. Now in use as house, with verandah to recessed entrance part. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge crestings, decoratively carved timber bargeboards to gables with carved timber brackets to apexes, red brick chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Red brick walls with limestone string course to projecting front bay, moulded brackets, render plinth and plaque and chanfered timber posts on limestone coping to plinth wall of verandah. Heavy limestone corbel to southwest corner of verandah. Segmental-arch openings with brick voussoirs, flush limestone sills, six pane timber casement windows, some doubled. Segmental-arch door opening with brick voussoirs and replacement timber door, with tiled floor to verandah. Dressed limestone boundary walls and piers with cast-iron gates and railings.

The red brick utilized in the construction of this modest gate lodge is an unusual feature on Coleville Road. Features such as the painted timber windows, limestone, ridge crestings, painted bargeboards and tiled threshold add colour to the building. It forms a group with Fairy Hill House and Spring Field House to the west.
