This is a house dating from 1901, designed by M. H. Baillie Scott. It is constructed of roughcast brick with a red clay tile arch over the front door. The roof is covered in clay plain tiles with gabled ends. Notable features include a roughcast stack with a cornice and bulbous clay pots, and another axial stack that has been truncated below the roofline.

The building is L-shaped, with the principal rooms and a cross-passage located in a cross-wing on the southwest side, and a dining room, staircase, and service rooms in the main range on the northeast side. The architectural style is Domestic Revival.

The asymmetrical northwest front features a wide gable on the right, with the roof of the main range extending over a small, later addition in the angle. The front door is positioned to the right of centre, with a red tile round arch and a plank door fitted with a grille and wrought-iron hinges. There are wooden mullion windows with leaded pane casements, containing two, three, and four lights. The southwest side has a large lateral stack rising through a small gable, and a roof that sweeps down over a bay window.

At the rear (southeast side), a wide gable projects on the left, featuring a round-arch doorway with a plank door – again with a grille and wrought-iron hinges – and round-arch windows on the right side. There is also a canted bay window on the right, with a cyma cornice, alongside leaded-pane windows and raking buttresses on the corners.

The interior is largely intact, with adzed ceiling beams and joists, those in the hall/cross-passage displaying a slight camber. Exposed timber-framing can be seen in internal walls, along with brick and tile infilling. The doors are plank with cover-moulds and cambered heads. Brick and tile fireplaces are present, featuring cambered tile arches and adzed bressumers. The staircase incorporates turned balusters and finials to square newels. Windows have decorative wrought-iron catches and stays. The kitchen has been altered and refurbished.
