A well-preserved timber bungalow with authentic period details — gabled roof with shingle infill, original-style verandah columns and bay windows — that reads as a competent example of early 20th-century suburban housing rather than an architect‑designed statement. It has genuine heritage character and good workmanship, but the form and detailing are typical of quality period houses rather than uniquely original architecture.
