Detached two-bay two-storey with attic former house, built c.1880, having single-storey canted bay and gabled half-dormer window to front (north) elevation and single-storey extension to east. Now in use as doctor's surgery. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, timber bargeboards to dormer and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings to ground floors, shouldered-headed openings having scroll detail under render hood mouldings to first floor windows and round-headed window to half-dormer. One-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and render sills throughout. Round-headed door opening under render hood moulding to timber panelled door with fanlight. Wrought-iron pedestrian gate, flanking render piers and boundary wall with wrought-iron railings to front of site.

A handsome house displaying interesting features including hood mouldings, timber sliding sash windows, and scrolled corners to window openings. Built as a pair with the neighbouring detached house, these houses are representative of the scale, form and quality of contemporary dwellings that were built in this area, adjacent to the university, as the city expanded west into the growing suburbs.
