The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof. The front façade has casement windows. There is a rendered masonry wall to the front boundary line. Proliferate foliage makes further description difficult.
House, 40 South Street was built in 1895 for William Remilton, a railway employee. In that year, it was described in the rate book as an iron cottage of two rooms. By 1898, it had been enlarged to three rooms. The Remilton family continued to own the property until c. 1910, and between c. 1920 and c. 1945, it was owned by Margaret Owen. The next owner was Emilio Beltrami, who owned it until c. 1960, when the cottage was sold to Linda Rinaldi. Ms Rinaldi was still the owner in the early 1970s. House, 40 South Street was a rental property during all this time. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a small galvanised iron house with a full length front verandah. The back verandah stretched across the rear of the house and around a portion of the eastern elevation. There was a separate brick outbuilding in the backyard. This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.
