Paired sashes to right bay,those on ground floor in tiled pent-roofed bay;those above separated by a decorative-capitalled column. A single flat-roofed 2-light dormer, roof hipped on right. External end stacks with heavy cornices. Rear: 2 right bays project under half-hipped gable. Left bay has french windows into conservatory (with renewed roof and glazing). Interior: the 2 front rooms on ground floor each have plaster-decorated and painted ceilings, dating probably to the late C19, that on left depicting putti, grapes, and foliage, that on right roses and butterflies, decorative marble fireplaces; 4-panel doors with bird-embossed plates. Decorative parquet floors. Open-string stair with turned balusters and moulded handrail with spiral curtail. Coloured tile floor to conservatory. Old cupboards and shelves in kitchen.

The ceiling decoration of the two front rooms is a very rare instance of this type of embellishment of a grander suburban home, and it is for this reason that the building is of special interest.
