This house is a small-scale building of much ornamentation. Built of yellow brick with red brick dressings, the polychromatic appearance of the house, characteristic of the late-Victorian period, is a feature shared in common with a small number of other houses in the locality, including The Ranch (11816068/KD-21-16-68) and Kilrue (House) (11816072/KD-21-16-72). The house has been well-maintained and retains most of its original features and fabric, including timber fenestration and materials to the roof. The house forms a neat group with a further larger-scale house to north (11816095/KD-26-16-95), with attendant outbuilding (11816081/KD-26-16-81).
