A large brick house with corrugated iron roof and verandahs all round. There are two large bay windows either side of the front door, and most rooms have french doors onto the verandahs. There is a kitchen wing at the back of the hosue with a verandah on the north side only. The house was originally built for the inspector of Railways, and was later converted to serve as a railway barracks.
