An attractive, middle-size composition of balanced proportions and symmetrical appearance that is representative of a component of mid nineteenth-century domestic architecture. Renovated in the late twentieth century leading to the loss of much of the original fabric, the house nevertheless retains most of its original form and massing, and remains an important component of the streetscape of Annestown.
