Description

A three-unit timber framed house consisting, as seen from the street, of a 1½-storey gabled unit to the left and two 1½ storey units to the right, plus a timber-framed lean-to at the left end, and a full-height brick barn and a corrugated steel shed at the right end. The timber framing is mostly brick-nogged and is painted black and white at the front, but much of the rear timber framing has not been painted. The topmost panelling of the framing of the original part of the house is in lighter timber. Slate roof with tile ridges; two brick mid-chimneys.

The fenestration generally respects the timber framing. The gabled unit at left has a small-pane window above and below and a former door position at left. The middle unit has two small pane dormer windows aligned with latticed windows below, and a boarded door under a small canopy. The right unit has garage doors.

The house retains much of its internal timber framing, including simply chamfered main beams and minimal floor joists. There is a brick bread oven of large size built into the north-west of the east chimney and projecting into the other room. Pitched stone paving in the east part of the central unit, including marks of a possible well.
