House, now flats. Early 19th century and 1875. Painted stucco, slate roof with stacks to gable ends of original block, ridge and right of later block. Early 19th century double-depth block; with the late 19th century block to the right it forms a T-plan with a stair turret to the rear. Classical style with some Picturesque Gothic details.
Exterior: two-storeys; three-window range to the early 19th century block, three windows to the west and south fronts of the late 19th century block. The earlier house has original cast-iron balconettes to the first floor and a verandah on cast-iron supports; the late 19th century remodelling added castellated stacks, elaborately-leaded French windows and a cornice articulated by gabled pilasters rising through a high parapet; to the right the panelled parapet continues round a large projecting canted bay with a hipped roof to the late 19th century block which has French windows with heavy pointed-arched glazing bars and coloured glass spandrels to the overlights. A small octagonal belvedere with a machicolated and castellated parapet and 20th century windows is corbelled out at the angle of the projection. The entrance to the rear of the right return has a moulded Tudor arch with sunk spandrels and label-mould over a door with vertical panels and overlight. Small cinquefoil-headed windows to the sides also have labelmoulds. Three trefoil-headed two-light mullioned and transomed windows to the first floor, that over the door is a French window with a cast-iron balconette. The shafts of three small castellated stacks are corbelled out to the first-floor left. The large rear stair turret is castellated with label-moulds to single-light windows.
