The house is of masonry construction, built on three floors incorporating a basement, ground and first floors.
It sits on a site sloping quite steeply to the southwest, allowing only half the general floor area in the basement, while part of the first floor is attic space.
The roof is terra cotta tile and the walls are cavity brick finished in a Mediterranean style stucco; windows are steel framed except for those enclosing Bedroom G.3
The exterior of the house has been painted and rainwater gutters and downpipes replaced.
Walls have been painted in a colour similar to biscuit, rainwater goods similar to Venetian red, and windows have been painted black.
The roof tiles are muntz, but are heavily covered with lichen.

Floors are a combination of concrete and timber originally covered with either pale green (ground floor) or mauve (first floor) carpet.
Internal walls are plastered, with a flat finish in utilitarian rooms and a textured finish in the others.
Ceilings are plastered or rendered and exhibit a hierarchy of embellishment of the plaster cornices, from nothing or a small cove in halls and bathrooms to elaborate Art Deco treatment in the living and bedrooms.

Most rooms retain the carpet, which is in relatively good condition.
Where this has been removed the boards have been painted with a gloss finish jade green paint.
The bathrooms are highly intact and are a particular feature of the house with their generous layout and unusual decor.
Other significant details of the exterior and interiors of the building have been noted in tables Appendix 2-Exterior Fabric Survey and Appendix 3 Interior Fabric Survey. (
