Single storey tuck pointed brick and corrugated iron hipped roof residence, set above and back from the pavement level, behind a low rendered wall (probably not original). The roof has a central small half-timbered gable and a finial. There is a dropped corrugated iron veranda roof supported by turned timber posts between timber brackets and balustrades. The façade features two rendered bands and two prominent bays with leadlight glass in French doors and stained leadlight transoms. The front entrance, where 'Rockville' appears, also has fanlights and sidelights with stained leadlight glass French doors probably not original.
