Doric columns. The veranda floor is concrete. The dwelling has a grand central front entry, which comprises a timber door with stained glass side lights and a fan light. The main central fan light has the word Mincol demarcated in the lead lights. The meaning of the word Mincol has not been determined. The entry is flanked on either side by identical protruding bays with timber casement window arrangements and the fanlights above. The dwelling comprises painted brick work to sill height, which is headed by a band with roughcast (rock faced) render above. The brickwork to the front of the house is tuck pointed. An internal inspection revealed that the internal layout and much of the original detailing has been retained. The entrance to the dwelling opens into a large entrance hall with pressed tin ceilings and a picture rail. Two rooms project either side of the entrance hall. Both rooms comprise fireplaces with timber fire place surrounds, picture rails, high ceilings with deep cove cornices, deep timber architraves, decorative vents and a pair of French doors with a fanlight above, which open out onto the side verandas. The room to the west has an ornate pressed tin ceiling. The original pressed tin ceiling has been replaced due deterioration in the eastern room. The entrance room reduces to a central hallway from which a lounge and dining room protrude to the west and a smaller bedroom and kitchen to the east. The lounge room has a bay along its western wall with two French doors with fanlights and two single timber framed casement windows, which opens out onto a veranda. The lounge room has a deep cove cornice detail, a picture rail and a decorative pressed tin ceiling and vents and an exposed brick fireplace along its southern wall. The kitchen has been modernized. However, it still retains its original passed tin ceiling, vents, picture rail and timber door with fanlight, which opens onto the east veranda. At the end of the entrance hall a timber door with fanlight above opens into a large room, which features decorative vents, a pressed tin ceiling and three panel timber casement window arrangements with associated fanlights. To the east of this rear room there is the original bathroom and toilet facilities, which feature pressed tin ceilings and single timber sash windows. To the west there is an ancillary room also with pressed tined ceilings and bricked up fireplace with timber mantle. The room to the west and the toilet to the east also contain doors, which provide access to the rear veranda. A store room has been constructed along the eastern side of the veranda. It has been finished to match the external detailing of the dwelling. The rear of the dwelling is mostly paved with hills hoist and some flower beds.
