Woodlands is today situated on half an acre of land.
The garden contains large mature trees, including a weeping fig, silky oaks, jacarandas, poincianas, Moreton Bay chestnuts, casuarinas, pines, flame trees and an albizia.
It has a privet hedge along the front fence dating from at least the 1920s.
A decorative wrought iron fence, gates and matching tree guards, constructed of Lowmoor iron and marked Baleys Patent Albion, survive from Charles Plant's time.

The house is a single storey, timber building on stumps, low set at the front and high at the back where the land falls away to the former mining gully.
The main, 1883 section is roughly square in plan, with walls of single skin, vertical beaded tongue and groove boards on a hardwood frame that has pegged tenoned joints visible at external door heads and windows.
The roof is clad with corrugated iron.
It has six main rooms with front and back hallways leading into the dining room.
The joinery is cedar and the large cedar fireplace remains in the dining room.
There are timber fretwork roses in the twelve foot ceilings.
Cedar French doors with fanlights open onto the formerly encircling verandahs.
The hall/dining room doors have etched and coloured glass panels in the upper sections.
The leadlights believed to have been transferred from Ferndale have distinctive geometric patterns and have been incorporated as decorative features in internal and external walls and some fanlights.
Wall panels are generally accompanied by elaborately carved cedar shelf/brackets, believed also to come from Ferndale.

Externally, the "new room" added in 1933 sits comfortably at the corner of the house but has some distinctive details, in particular the concave sweep between the upper eaves and verandah roof levels of the original house, the sweep being clad with cedar shingles.
Internally it has a plaster "art deco" ceiling, silky oak joinery and panelling, including panelled doors with crossed diagonal decorative mouldings.
The diagonal cross design is repeated in the casement windows and in the fixed and sliding leadlight panels that replaced the wall dividing this room from the drawing room.
The adjoining verandah, now a breakfast room has cedar bi-fold windows that match the design of the casements in the "new room".
There is a fireplace for an electric fire that survives.
Some modernisation also carried out in other rooms at the time, includes the installation of a matching fireplace in the drawing room and its Art Deco green tiling, a terrazzo hearth and a green enamel stove in the original brick stove recess of the kitchen.

The house retains its 1930s form, together with a high degree of intact detail, including door furniture and the remains of gas lighting in the bedrooms.
The bedrooms also have built-in hand basins set in timber beaded cupboards.
