One of a pair of semi-detached three-bay two-storey houses, built c.1860, with two-storey turreted tower extension to south and porch to front. Set back from road. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles and rendered chimneystacks with terracotta pots and timber eaves board. Ruled-and-lined render to walls. Timber sash windows with concrete sills. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door. Rendered wall to front site with cast-iron pedestrian gate.
This well proportioned house forms part of a group of semi-detached houses, possibly built by the Goodbody family for some of their employees, located to the western side of Clara. The unusual two-storey tower like extension is a striking feature to the house and this, along with the retention of the timber sash windows add architectural significance to this structure, making it a positive contributor to the streetscape of Clara.
