This is a modest mid‑20th century timber cottage with little evidence of architect design or notable heritage detailing — typical of post‑war suburban housing. Its main merits are a large 615m² block, separate garage and original timber floors, making it more interesting as a renovation or redevelopment opportunity than as architecturally significant stock.
