The house contains, in addition to a large bar and spacious taproom, two parlours, seven bedrooms ; a spacious hall goes through the centre from the front entrance to the kitchen and store room, which is detached. The house is 60 feet long, a verandah 8 feet wide and flagged, runs the whole length ; the roof is shingled and waterproof.

There is also a blacksmith's shop erected on the premises, and fronting the road in which a very good trade has for a number of years been carried on, and is alone a competency for an industrious man carrying on the trade, it being a good stand both for agricultural and a road-side business.
