Detached three-bay two-storey building with dormer attic, c.1850, possibly incorporating fabric of earlier brewery, pre-1840, on site. Renovated with replacement single-bay single-storey gabled projecting glazed porch added to ground floor. Now in residential use. Pitched slate roof (gabled to porch) with clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stack, rooflights, decorative timber bargeboards, and iron rainwater goods on timber eaves. Random rubble stone walls originally rendered with render removed. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills, red brick block-and-start surrounds, six-over-six (ground floor) and three-over-six (remainder) timber sash windows. Square-headed openings to porch with timber panelled door having fixed-pane sidelights, and overlight. Set back from road in shared grounds.

An appealing small-scale house possibly originally having associations with a brewery operating on site in the nineteenth century, thereby forming an important element of the commercial and industrial legacy of Thomastown. Although the retention of most of the original form together with many of the early features maintains some of the integrity of the composition extensive renovation works including the exposure of the rubble stone construction may have a negative impact on the fabric of the house in the long term.
