Detached five-bay two-storey house, built c.1880, with extension and abutting building to rear, and shopfront to ground floor. Fronts directly onto street.

Located on a prominent corner site, this well proportioned and modestly designed house with shopfront is a noticeable feature in the streetscape. Retaining its original timber shopfront, the building exhibits simple design elements and is a fine example of a late nineteenth-century commercial design. The flanking pilasters enhance the large display windows, with cow bars reflecting a bygone time when cattle were driven along the street.
