Located on the north side of High Street, the building is a single-storey timber framed residential property, clad with weatherboard and topped with a gabled corrugated iron roof. The front of the house is symmetrical with a central entrance doorway flanked on either side by a window. A verandah extends across the front façade (although has been partially enclosed). A brick extension has been added to the north east corner. The property has densely planted gardens to both the front and rear. Internally the building comprises two bedrooms, lounge, kitchen arranged on either side of a central hallway, with a bathroom, laundry and rear sleep out to the rear. Some original elements of the property include the timber floorboards, ceiling roses, leadlight fan above front door, fireplace, decorative wall mouldings, and Metters kitchen stove. The property appears to be in fair condition. A new residential building exists to the rear of the property, accessed from Montreal Street. This building has not been referred through GHPDP.
The house was constructed under the War Service Homes scheme by the Workers Homes Board in 1967. It remained in the ownership of the War Service Homes Commission until 1947.
